Abstract: Important secondary structures such as pipes may experience damage and become cracked during earthquakes. This not only may cause the piping to lose its functionality, but also may lead to secondary hazard such as fire if ...

Abstract: Earthquake response control of base-isolated bridges using supplementary passive dampers is presented. A benchmark highway overcrossing located in California is selected to indicate the effectiveness of such hybrid response ...

Abstract: The most crucial aspect of effective control of civil structures is control algorithms. Under severe earthquake disturbances, the modern semiactively controlled civil structures are highly nonlinear, uncertain, and complex ...

Abstract: In the pursuit of a sustainable energy future, this study employs multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) to present a concise and comprehensive strategy for onshore wind project cost analysis, addressing the critical ...
