This paper investigates the performance of the Magnetorheological damper as a smart
dissipating device in the isolated buildings for prevention of seismic pounding. To that end …

The increase in bearing displacements of sliding isolated buildings due to near-fault
earthquakes, with long-period pulse type of ground motion, is an important problem. Often …

The traditional passive base isolation is the most widely used method in the engineering
practice for structural control, however, it has the shortcoming that the optimal control …

This study investigates reducing the vibration of structures under different earthquakes using
magnetorheological dampers. To investigate the effect of the magnetorheological damper …

One of the most successful means of protecting structures against severe seismic events is
base isolation. However, optimal design of base isolation systems depends on the …

Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are devices capable of reducing structural vibration by means
of transferring energy from the protected structure to the control device. This vibration control …

Application of control devices for seismic hazard mitigation has emerged as an attractive
and viable proposition over the years. Buildings in close proximity are prone to pound to …

In this study, a FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER is employed to synchronize the response of
two adjacent buildings coupled with a magneto-rheological (MR) damper and also, to …

Since civil structures have little damping capability, extensive damage and even failure often
occur when they are subjected to seismic excitations. Control devices have therefore been …

This paper presents vibration control of a building model under earthquake loads. A
magnetorheological (MR) damper is placed in the building between the first floor and …
