This paper presents a methodology for the optimization of double tuned mass dampers
(TMDs) positioned on the top floor of a multi-story building subjected to ground motions …

In recent studies, it has been stated that tuned tandem mass dampers (TTMD) will be a
practical mechanical solution to reduce the dynamic responses of structures under seismic …

Three-sided underpass culverts are structural systems used to provide passing vehicle or
pedestrian. It is of great importance that such infrastructure systems remain useable …

The culverts are used to safely convey water under railways, highways, and overpasses.
They are utilized in drainage areas or water channels and in areas where the bearing …

Particle tuned mass damper has received considerable attention on mitigating structural
seismic responses recently. However, soil-structure interaction effects have not been …

Pipelines are important structural elements that are frequently used today to meet many
infrastructures needs such as drainage, natural gas or water transmission. In this context, the …

This study was aimed to (1) investigate the failure surface mechanism occurring behind the
wall supporting narrow backfill with experimental and numerical approaches;(2) determine …

A two-stage cantilever retaining wall is composed of two single-stage cantilever retaining
walls, which are stacked up and down. The structure not only has the advantages of a single …

With the development of the Chinese economy and society, the height and density of urban
buildings are increasing, and large underground transportation hubs have been constructed …

In the realm of large-scale underground transportation engineering, prefabricated box
culverts have emerged as a predominant structural element. However, their performance is …
