This paper describes the behavior of a low-cost seismic isolator comprising a grout-filled
tennis ball rolling on concrete plates. The isolator could be used for isolating lightweight …

Seismic fragility assessment provides a substantial tool for assessing the seismic resilience
of these buildings. However, using traditional numerical methods to derive fragility curves …

This paper studied the feasibility of a sliding base isolation layer to be used in rubble stone
masonry buildings in rural areas in the Himalayan Mountain range to provide robust …

Thin reinforced concrete wall (TRCW) buildings have become one of the most cost-effective
and fastest options for housing construction. However, the performance of the TRCW …

This paper describes the results of an experimental investigation on the coefficient of friction
at the interface of a PVC–sand–PVC layer that is utilised as part of a low-cost geotechnical …

This study presents the results of a large-scale experimental investigation of sustainable and
low-cost seismic isolators based on deformable rubber spheres, rolling of concrete surfaces …

This study presents the results of a large-scale experimental investigation of sustainable and
low-cost seismic isolators based on deformable rubber spheres rolling on concrete surfaces …

In response to the pressing need for housing and streamlining construction processes, the
building industry has embraced innovative construction techniques. One such method …

This paper describes the lateral cyclic response of a low-cost seismic isolator. The system
comprises a grout-filled, reused tennis ball rolling on concrete plates. The isolator could be …
