Abstract: Tables of impedance functions and effective input motions for rigid square foundations embedded in a uniform elastic half‐space are presented. The tables include numerical results obtained by a hybrid approach for embedment ...

Abstract: An innovative vibration-control system is proposed to reduce the dynamic response of tall buildings to wind and seismic loads. This system takes advantage of the so-called megasubstructure configuration, which is especially ...

Abstract: A method to obtain the response of a rigid circular foundation resting on a uniform elastic half‐space and subjected to a spatially random ground motion is presented. The solution of the resulting mixed boundary‐value ...

Abstract: A multistory factory building with elevated access allows loading and unloading of the raw materials and finished products right in front of each factory unit. This enhances the land productivity of land-scarce Singapore. ...
