Seismic resilience (SR) plays a vital role in evaluating and improving performance losses
along with saving repair costs of structures from potential earthquakes. To further explore the …

The research on traditional and innovative seismic isolation techniques has grown
significantly in recent years, thanks to both experimental and numerical campaigns. As a …

Forward-directivity effects create distinct velocity pulse in the fault-normal direction of near-
fault ground motions. It has been shown that this pulse period governs the structural …

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the efficiency of a low-cost and sustainable timber-
based energy dissipation system with recentering ability, which can be used as a seismic …

The modern engineering approach to design of structures exposed to rare but intense
earthquakes allows for their inelastic response. Models and tools to rapidly but accurately …

This paper presents an optimization process for the design of a novel synergetic seismic and
energy retrofitting strategy that combines the favorable mechanical properties of timber and …

Cylindrical liquid storage tanks are vital lifeline structures, playing a critical role in industry
and human life. Damages to these structures during previous earthquakes indicate their …

A performance‐based design procedure is proposed for seismically isolated bridges
with/without supplemental energy dissipation devices. Considering multiple performance …

This paper focuses on the large-scale experimental investigation of the seismic vulnerability
