Abstract: The seismic response of bridges seismically isolated by lead-rubber bearings (L-RB) to bidirectional earthquake excitation (i.e., two horizontal components) is presented in this paper. The force-deformation behavior of ...

Abstract: Stochastic response of bridges seismically isolated by the friction pendulum system (FPS) is investigated. The earthquake excitation is modeled by a nonstationary random process (i.e., uniformly modulated broadband ...

Abstract: The seismic performance of supplemental clutching inerter dampers (CID) for continuous span isolated bridges is assessed. The resisting force of the CID is considered nonlinear and proportional to the relative acceleration, ...

Abstract: This study focuses on the design procedure and development of the unbonded fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolator (UFREI) and its application to prevalent masonry building practices in developing countries. The proposed ...

Abstract: The present study introduces inerter-based absorbers (IVAs), negative stiffness dampers (NSDs), and their synergistic combination as supplemental control strategies for a multispan continuous deck isolated bridge structure. ...

Abstract: Elliptical rolling rods between the base and foundation of a structure provide a new base isolation system. Herein, the effectiveness of elliptical rolling rods for isolating a multistory building against earthquake forces ...

Abstract: Nonlinear response of torsionally coupled base isolated system to random ground motion is obtained under different parametric variations using a simulation procedure. Parameters include those which characterize mass, ...

Abstract: The seismic response of bridges isolated by elastomeric bearings and the sliding system is investigated under two horizontal components of real earthquake ground motions. The selected bridges consist of multispan continuous ...

Abstract: Analytical seismic responses of structures retrofitted using base isolation devices are investigated and the retrofit schemes are illustrated. The retrofitting of various important structures using seismic isolation technique ...

Abstract: Research work of this study focuses on the seismic soil-structure interaction (SSSI) analysis of a base isolated nuclear building (NB) of the Indian pressurized heavy water reactor (IPHWR) under the action of coherent ...
