Base isolation systems are widely used as an effective and practical solution to protect the
structure and non-structural elements from seismic hazards. However, the excessive …

At present, high-damping rubber materials, widely used in the field of engineering seismic
isolation, generally have the problems such as narrow effective damping temperature range …

In this paper, a new three-directional vibration isolator for buildings was developed to
suppress vertical metro vibrations and horizontal seismic vibrations simultaneously. The …

An extensive investigation of the international literature is carried out regarding the passive
energy dissipation systems and more specifically the dampers that can be positioned in …

The recent technological advancements achieved in modular construction have accelerated
the trend of building taller self-standing steel modular building systems (MBSs), leading to a …

The conventional laminated rubber bearing is primarily for the horizontal seismic input. To
achieve three-dimensional seismic isolation, the horizontal laminated steel plates in rubber …

This experimental study explored a new energy dissipation damper based on pre-stretched
pseudoelastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. Due to the pseudoelastic effect and …

This paper presents a novel energy dissipation damper for multi-level earthquakes. The
dampers possess two obvious yield points by using the preset gaps, so the dampers can …

Multi-layered elastomeric bearings (EB) are used extensively in civil structures and
infrastructures, due to their ability to mitigate the movements that structures such as …

The poor stiffness and strength of traditional U-shaped dampers is an issue that is
addressed in the present work by the development of a new form of T-section metallic …
