RISTuned Mass Damper and Base Isolation: A Unitary Approach for the Seismic Protection of Conventional Frame Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Taking inspiration from the basic two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) models usually adopted to study base isolation (BI) and tuned mass damper (TMD), a unique main archetype 2-DOF model is here introduced to describe the behavior ...
Dynamic and Seismic Protection of Rigid-Block-Like Elements and Structures on Deformable Ground with Mass-Damper Dynamic Absorbers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Some elements and structures can be modeled as rigid blocks. To reduce their likelihood of overturning such block-like elements, structures can be coupled with safety devices. In this paper, a model of a rigid block placed ...
