Abstract: Buildings sited outside the seismic zones such as those in Singapore are not designed for seismic loads. However, the buildings in these regions vibrate due to tremors caused by faults in Sumatra, Indonesia. Therefore, in ...

Abstract: Recently, Ankireddi and Yang derived analytical expressions for the damper characteristics and the controller feedback gain coefficients for the design of an active tuned mass damper system (ATMD) in reducing the first-mode ...

Abstract: There are several existing methods for determining groundborne vibrations in buildings due to subway train traffic that are essentially based on empirically derived relationships. These methods are not able to handle ...

Abstract: In a knee-brace-frame (KBF), one end of the brace is connected to a short knee element instead of beam-column joint. The brace provides the required lateral stiffness, whereas the ductility is obtained through shear yielding ...

Abstract: The steady‐state vibration of a subway‐soil‐building system is determined using an appropriate finite element model. The vibration level in the podium block of the building is obtained for two different track support ...
