The application of the friction pendulum (FP) system is increasing due to its conceptual
simplicity; yet there are still aspects of its behaviour that need further attention. Long duration …

In this study, the collapse probability of a Reinforced Concrete (RC) seismically isolated
building designed according to ASCE 7-16 is given using the Incremental Dynamic Analysis …

The paper deals with the seismic retrofit of a multiple building structure belonging to the
Hospital Centre of Avellino (Italy). At first, the paper presents the preliminary investigations …

The seismic design of buildings and other structures should include provisions for inherent
and accidental torsion effects. Procedures developed decades ago for use with equivalent …

The curved surface sliding (CSS) system is one of the most in-demand techniques for the
seismic isolation of buildings; yet there are still important aspects of its behaviour that need …

Accidental eccentricity is aimed to account for any unforeseen factor that may attribute to the
torsional response. These sources can be broadly classified into two components, namely …

This study investigates the inelastic torsional response of plan asymmetric ductile RC
buildings with a soft first story. The buildings of Rectangular, L, T, and U plan shapes are …

The assessment of maximum displacement demand is a crucial point in the design of
seismic isolating systems, in particular when the non linear behaviour of devices is modeled …

In this paper, the rotational behavior of asymmetric base-isolated buildings is compared with
the similar asymmetric fixed-base buildings. A vast range of lead rubber bearings with …
