The deformation capacity of a viscoelastic damper (VED) is generally limited by the
thickness of the VE pad. In this study, a VED with fail-safe mechanism was developed and its …

Earthquake-damaged buildings need to be quickly restored to mitigate secondary disasters
and social impacts. A rapid seismic retrofitting method using gapped eccentric steel brace …

The vibration control of a cantilevered floor with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) was
investigated using dynamic testing and numerical simulation methods to better satisfy the …

This study presents the application of a novel negative stiffness and inerter damper (NSID)
for structural response control of reinforced concrete (RC) elevated liquid storage tanks …

Defect RC frames are vulnerable to seismic excitation, which need to be retrofitted to
enhance performance during seismic event. An applicable procedure is required to reveal …

Elevated water tanks are considered crucial infrastructure due to their significant role in
supporting essential services. A strong ground motion may result in a failure or significant …

In this study, the effects of temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) of moist air are
discussed on the quality factors (Q-factor) of micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) …

Considering the linked structure concept, a single damper enhances the response of two
adjoining structures, becomes an economic alternative for seismic performance …

The dynamic behaviour of elevated water tanks in blast-prone ground vibration locations is a
major concern due to threat from the increase in mining activities. The study aims to adopt …

Failure of a tank during an earthquake can result in significant financial, human, and
environmental losses. Thus, their lack of resiliency against strong earthquakes may result in …
