Typically, near fault excitations are identified as large amplitude pulses with low frequency
and short duration, showing the potential of damage in existing structures. The primary …

The analytical seismic response of multi-story buildings isolated by the friction pendulum
system (FPS) is investigated under near-fault motions. The superstructure is idealized as a …

Near-fault earthquakes have different properties compared to far-fault earthquakes. Due to
the phenomenon of forward directivity in near-fault earthquakes, the component …

Abstract Quintuple Friction Pendulum (QTFP) isolator having five effective pendula with nine
stage sliding regimes operation is an extended technology of Triple Friction Pendulum (TFP) …

Structures close to causative earthquake faults may exhibit substantially different seismic
responses than those recorded away from the excitation source. In the near-fault zone, long …

Variable Curvature Friction Pendulum (VCFP) bearing is one of the alternatives to control
excessive induced responses of isolated structures subjected to near-fault ground motions …

Abstract The Triple Friction Pendulum (TFP) bearing consists of two facing concave steel
surfaces separated by an internal nested assembly of two facing concave surfaces …

The application of the friction pendulum (FP) system is increasing due to its conceptual
simplicity; yet there are still aspects of its behaviour that need further attention. Long duration …

The seismic response of a flexible multi‐storey building isolated with variable friction
pendulum system (VFPS) is investigated under normal component of six near‐fault ground …

Abstract Triple Friction Pendulum Bearing (TFPB) as a novel seismic isolator, provides
different combinations of stiffness and damping during its course of motion. The adaptive …
