The historical development and practical implementation of structural base isolation systems
that work on the principle of friction are discussed in the light of analytical, numerical, and …

This paper proposes an improved base isolation device to achieve seismic resilient design
of structures during earthquakes, which is composed of conventional friction pendulum …

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 …

Because a conventional isolation system with constant isolation frequency is usually a long‐
period dynamic system, its seismic response is likely to be amplified in earthquakes with …

This study assesses the performance of a novel passive variable friction damper (PVFD) at
mitigating wind-and seismic-induced vibrations. The PVFD consists of two friction plates …

A comprehensive experimental investigation of high-rise structure employing the friction
pendulum system (FPS) in accordance with inter-storey isolation control strategy are …

Compared to structural base isolation, floor isolation is a more cost-effective and efficient
means for seismic protection of vibration-sensitive equipment in a building structure. In this …

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of two identical adjacent structures connected with
viscous dampers is investigated under base acceleration. The base acceleration is modeled …

The spherical surface of the friction pendulum system (FPS) inevitably introduce a constant
dominant period, which may lead to resonance problem when subjected to the ground …

Tuned mass dampers with viscous damping and isolation systems with friction pendulums
have been proposed and widely applied over the past several decades. By combining these …
