This paper presents the numerical and experimental evaluation of a vertical‐rocking
isolation (VRI). This evaluation is done by 1‐D shaking table tests performed on a full‐scale …

In this paper, a novel device called the “ISO3D-2G” is proposed for a three-dimensional
vertical rocking isolation (VRI) system. The VRI system works by isolating critical vibration …

This paper presents the development, testing, and characterization of an innovative low-cost
fail-safe sustainable energy-dissipation device in which the material surrounding the moving …

In this paper, a numerical study on the response of multi-storey moment-resisting steel
frames subjected to seismic actions, accounting for the real behavior of both the beam-to …

Stochastic dynamic analysis of the nonlinear system is an open research question which
has drawn many scholars' attention for its importance and challenge. Fokker–Planck …

A comparative study of the seismic response of structures equipped with linear and
nonlinear mass damping systems is presented herein. Three optimized mass damping …

The introduction of an intermediate discontinuity in frame structures is commonly named
inter-storey isolation. Inter-storey isolation is an effective technique for the seismic protection …

This study presents lumped spring model parameters for nonlinear seismic analysis of
reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures. The modified Ibarra‐Medina‐Krawinkler (M‐IMK) …

The displacements estimated using seismic accelerations are useful for post-earthquake
inspection of structural damage. In previous studies, displacements were usually obtained …

Shear keys are elements in bridges designed to prevent or limit transverse unseating,
rotation, and/or collapse of the superstructure responding to strong-intensity earthquake …
