Near-fault earthquakes are more severe compared to typical ground motions which are used
in most of the seismic design codes. Near-fault ground motions with forward-directivity and …

Due to structural safety and residential comfort, the vibration control of buildings under
earthquake and wind excitations has always been one of the important issues in the …

ABSTRACT Friction Pendulum Bearing (FPB) has emerged as a popular solution for
damage protection of bridges under seismic events. The study presents the probabilistic …

For researching the influence of vertical component of near-field records on the seismic
response of wind turbine towers, firstly, shaking table test of a 1/20 scaled 2.0 MW wind …

In high-rise reinforced concrete buildings, using base-isolating systems can increase the
response of the structure. To overcome this problem, it is suggested to increase the stiffness …

The design of seismic isolators as specified by building code requirements is well defined
and well established. However, there is still some refinement required for these design …

Gempa bumi merupakan fenomena alam yang disebabkan oleh adanya pelepasan energi
regangan elastis batuan pada litosfir. Tidak jarang gempa datang secara berulang (gempa …

The peak dynamic responses of a typical isolated bridge under basic pulse motions and a
set of near-field (NF) earthquake records were investigated in this study. A numerical model …

An increasing number of important structures, such as tall buildings, long-span bridges,
large storage tanks, major pipelines and tunnels, and seismically isolated structures render …

Seismic isolation is one of the most reliable passive structural control techniques with
adequately established standards for the earthquake protection of structures from …
