The problem of earthquake induced torsion in buildings is quite old and although it has
received a lot of attention in the past several decades, it is still open. This is evident not only …

The paper presents an overview of the progress in research regarding seismic response of
plan and vertically irregular building structures. Three areas of research are surveyed. The …

To make the bearings of railway bridges have certain adaptability and self-resetting ability
under earthquake, this paper puts forward a simplified design method of bearings. Two …

The isolation technology is widely used to protect structures against strong earthquake. For
the inter-story isolated tall building located in strong wind-prone area, the soft isolation layer …

The seismic response of a flexible multi‐storey building isolated with variable friction
pendulum system (VFPS) is investigated under normal component of six near‐fault ground …

Friction pendulum bearings (FPBs) have emerged as critical structural isolation devices in
the field of earthquake engineering. Extensive research and development efforts have led to …

A seismic isolation system with traditional sliding bearings, such as friction pendulum
isolators (FPIs), is typically a low-frequency system with constant isolation stiffness. Although …

This paper presents the modeling of a rolling isolation platform used to protect objects from
the hazards of horizontal shaking. The platform is built from four pairs of recessed steel …

Base-isolated building as one of the effective measures of improving building seismic
performance may be exposed to strong winds. On this condition, the building will undergo …

In order to improve the post-earthquake resilience of bridge structures, a Two-Stage seismic
isolation method is proposed in this paper. According to the method, the restoring force and …
