In this paper, the development of non-linear building isolation systems is overviewed. The
study summarizes commonly used linear building isolation systems in two categories, which …

Equipping energy dissipation devices in the structures is one of the effective methods to
resist earthquake disasters. Here, a novel buckling-controlled brace inspired by origami (O …

Abstract Dhaka, Bangladesh is one Asian city that is at high risk of earthquakes. Persons
with physical disabilities, particularly movement-challenged persons (MCPs), is highly …

The incorporation of base isolation in building construction in the region of medium risk
seismicity is now an important issue. Thorough investigation is needed for buildings located …

Pounding of neighbouring construction of structures due to seismic excitation increases the
damage of structural components or even causes collapse of structures. Among the possible …

To protect structures from earthquakes, various systems called base isolation are used,
which reduce the force applied to the structure during ground movement by reducing the …

This study aims to assess people's preparedness for a potential earthquake in Dhaka, the
capital of Bangladesh. We have employed a model with six dimensions of holistic individual …

Conventional building design includes the concept of providing more stiff structural solution
to withstand the lateral seismic loading. Introduction of flexible elements at the base of a …

New natural rubber (NR)/nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)/hindered phenol (AO-80)
composites with high-damping properties were prepared in this study. The morphological …

Purpose Among the many studies about risk perception, only a few deal with Bangladesh.
Paul and Bhuiyan's (2010) study has shown the earthquake-preparedness level of residents …
