Base isolation has emerged as one of the most effective high-tech strategies for protecting
infrastructure under seismic loading. This review paper discusses the historical development …

Seismic isolation is a technique that has been used around the world to protect building
structures, nonstructural components and content from the damaging effects of earthquake …

The present study investigates the analysis of the optimal friction coefficient with respect to
the seismic performance of isolated multi-span continuous deck bridges, equipped with …

The study analyzes the influence of double concave friction pendulum (DCFP) isolator
properties on the seismic performance of isolated multispan continuous deck bridges. The …

This study develops a novel superelastic pendulum isolator with multi-stage variable
curvature (SPIVC) to enhance the seismic resilience of the cold-regional bridges. The SPIVC …

This paper presents experimental investigations on the feasibility of using a sand-rubber
deformable granular layer as a low-cost seismic isolation strategy for developing countries …

The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of the pier–abutment–deck interaction on
the seismic response of bridges isolated by single concave sliding pendulum isolators …

This paper describes an experimental program to examine the force–displacement behavior
of a class of multi‐spherical sliding bearings. The primary goal of the experiments is to test …

This study evaluated the hysteretic behavior, seismic performance, and resilience of friction
based (FD) self-centering prestressed concrete (SCPC) frames. First, an experimental study …

The nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi in March 2011 has led the nuclear community to
consider seismic isolation for new large light water and small modular reactors to withstand …
