Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study of the seismic response of a 0.6-scale three-story building with nonlinear viscous dampers under the design basis earthquake (DBE) and the maximum considered earthquake (MCE). The ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted of the behavior of equal-leg and unequal-leg angles bent around the major principal axis. A finite-element model was developed for numerical simulation of the behavior and extensive ...

Abstract: As magnetorheological (MR) control devices increase in scale for use in real-world civil engineering applications, sophisticated modeling and control techniques may be needed to exploit their unique characteristics. Here, ...
