Abstract: An interstory drift-estimation method using structural acceleration measurements is presented in this study. In this method, the structural system, generally modeled with multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) and Bouc–Wen ...

Abstract: An energy dissipation mechanism of abalone shells, called sacrificial bonds and hidden length, is simulated and proposed to develop new strategies for base isolation. The concept of integrating this novel energy dispersion ...

Abstract: An energy dissipation mechanism of abalone shells, called

Abstract: This paper presents a data set of a fire-induced collapse on an existing building with a truss roof. The data set contains the thermal and structural responses of the tested building, the mass loss of the fuel, the heat ...

Abstract: This study investigates the dynamic and nonlinear behavior of an eddy current (EC) damping mechanism by using shaking table tests and finite-element modeling. A noncontact and friction-free EC damper is firstly designed ...
