Since the early ages of human existence on Earth, humans have fought against natural
hazards for survival. Over time, the most dangerous hazards humanity has faced are …

Control algorithms are the most critical aspects in the successful control of civil structures
subjected to earthquake and wind forces. In recent years, adaptive intelligent control …

The seismic response of midrise frame structures rested on soft soils is susceptible to the
dynamic interaction between structure, foundation and soil, called soil structure interaction …

In a conventional base isolation system, minimizing the seismic responses of the
superstructure is always at the cost of increasing the isolator's response. The semi-active …

Base isolation is now a well-established technology for the structures earthquake protection.
Several national building codes now include chapters on base isolation, to promulgate and …

Background: Midrise 5 to 15 storeys frame structures sitting on soft soils are susceptible to
damage induced by seismic events. The level of damage is related to the interaction …

The recent earthquakes history shows that the conception of resistant, safe, and economical
structures is daily challenges for structural engineers. Among the newest vibration control …
