Featured Application The presented device aims to passively suppress the vibrations of
suspended piping systems and improve structural resiliency and occupant safety. Abstract …

Piping systems are important nonstructural components of most types of buildings. Damage
to piping systems can lead to significant economic losses, casualties, and interruption of …

In this work, an entropy based two-step structural damage identification method under
seismic excitation is proposed. The measured signals are decomposed by means of wavelet …

The main aim of this paper was to propose a new reliability index for steel structure
assessment and to check it using the example of a popular Pratt truss girder. Structural …

Featured Application Implementation of an innovative approach in the field of seismic
damage analysis in cities to hierarchize the importance of the different phenomena detected …

Non-destructive testing techniques for damage localization constitute a key aspect of
structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. The acoustic emission (AE) method can be …

This paper proposes a pulse-echo Ultrasonic Testing (UT) methodology to quantify the
damage of hysteretic dampers subjected to cyclic loadings. Energy dissipation is known as …

High-rise structures prone to large vibrations under the action of strong winds, resulting in
