In view of the grave socioeconomic consequences of earthquake damage to bridge
structures, along with their critical role in modern and older road and rail networks, this …

Earthquake response control of base-isolated bridges using supplementary passive
dampers is presented. A benchmark highway overcrossing located in California is selected …

Many researchers have taken advantage of adding shape memory alloy (SMA) wires to
base isolators to control displacements and residual deformations. In the literature, different …

In this paper, an evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm named NSGA-II was
used to determine the optimum radius for shape memory alloy (SMA) wires employed in …

The benchmark structure used in this study is the lumped mass finite-element model of 91/5
