Although a great deal of research has been carried out regarding seismic isolation, there is
a lack of proper research on its behavior and implementing technique in low to medium …

In this paper, some of the scenarios that can occur in the numerical nonlinear non-smooth
response of a vibro-impact single-degree-of-freedom system, symmetrically constrained by …

A new configuration for passive pseudo-negative stiffness device (PPNSD) is proposed to
work as a supplemental device for the seismic protection of existing isolated buildings. The …

The large displacements caused by strong earthquakes in base-isolated structures
(buildings, bridges, strategic facilities, equipment,⋯) can excessively deform or damage the …

In this study, torsionally irregular single‐story and multistory structures under the effect of
near‐fault ground motion excitation were controlled by active tendons. Near‐fault ground …

Long-period pulses in near-field earthquakes lead to large displacements in the base of
isolated structures. To dissipate energy in isolated structures using semi-active control …

In this paper, the effect of the presence of (existing or newly added) deformable and
dissipative obstacles (bumpers) on the nonlinear dynamic response of a single-degree-of …

Floor isolation systems have been becoming increasingly popular as a protective measure
for critical structural contents such as computer servers or museum artifacts. Supplemental …

The incorporation of base isolation in building construction in the region of medium risk
seismicity is now an important issue. Thorough investigation is needed for buildings located …

Pounding of neighbouring construction of structures due to seismic excitation increases the
damage of structural components or even causes collapse of structures. Among the possible …
