Inter-story seismic isolation has become a valuable solution for high-rise buildings to
effectively separate the various parts having several functions, and thus different seismic …

Seismic isolation is an effective measure for mitigating earthquake hazard on important
structures such as bridges, hospitals, and nuclear power plants. Seismically isolated …

Seismic base isolators are used extensively in buildings, bridges, and critical infrastructure.
During a seismic event, these isolators simultaneously experience the service loads and the …

In this paper, the behavior of a natural rubber bearing system (NRBs) equipped with U-
shaped dampers is investigated. The U-shaped dampers consist of shaped memory alloy …

Building isolation is a practical and ubiquitous method for reducing inter-story drift and story
acceleration. Previously it has been shown that since an isolator can increase the time …

Stability is one of the most important parameters to evaluate seismic base isolators. Previous
research has illustrated the power of base isolators with single and multiple rubber cores …

To enhance the seismic resilience of bridges equipped with nonseismic laminated rubber
bearings, a novel seismic isolation system is proposed, leveraging hybrid bonded and …

To enhance the seismic performance of highway bridges supported by laminated rubber
bearings, this study proposes a novel hybrid placement of bonded and unbonded bearings …

Abstract Steel Reinforced Elastomeric Bearings (SREB) are mostly designed and used for
providing different supporting conditions under service loads; while recent studies have …

The hybrid control combining the conventional seismic isolation and tuned mass damper
inerter is recently gaining popularity for the seismic protective strategy. This paper presents …
