Abstract: Due to the nonlinear nature of coordinate transformations, evaluation and calibration of multiaxial loading systems in global Cartesian coordinates are challenging problems. This study proposes a systematic calibration ...

Abstract: This paper examines the ASCE first generation benchmark problem for a seismically excited cable-stayed bridge, and proposes a new semiactive control strategy focusing on inclusion of effects of control-structure interaction. ...

Abstract: The bridge network, as part of the critical civil infrastructure, is susceptible to natural and man-made hazards. It is essential that the network retains its traffic-carrying capacity after a disastrous earthquake to ...

Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are one of the most promising new devices for structural vibration mitigation. Because of their mechanical simplicity, high dynamic range, low power requirements, large force capacity, and ...

Abstract: Substructure hybrid simulation of engineering structures subjected to multiple-support excitation (MSE) is investigated. In time-history analysis of MSE problems, the equations of motion are generally posed in relative ...
