Concave surface sliders (CSSs) are considered as an effective solution for retrofitting
adjacent buildings irregular in plan that could undergo significant seismic pounding due to …

The oscillation due to vibration results in impact of the structures if the at-rest separation is
insufficient to accommodate the relative displacements. The impact between the floors of the …

The seismic protection of rc buildings by base-isolation systems is often achieved using
elastomeric devices like the high-damping-rubber bearings (HDRBs). When these buildings …

The capability of safety structures, systems and devices to withstand dynamic loadings
(earthquakes, impacts, pounding, falling of heavy objects, etc.) is part of the design basis of …

Unbonded steel-mesh-reinforced rubber bearings (USRBs) have been proposed as an
alternative isolation bearing for small-to-medium-span highway bridges. It replaces the steel …

In the scenarios of structure retrofit or bridge application, elastomeric bearings may be
placed on top of columns or piers. These implementations result in a flexible boundary …

The ratio of the vertical-to-horizontal peak ground accelerations highlights the fact that
values greater than one tend to occur in the near-fault area, where the corresponding ratio of …

The seismic performance of a steel frame base-isolated structure with steel spiral spring
limiters is experimentally investigated under near-fault ground motions. A series of shake …

Asansör kabini asansör kuyusu içinde bir kaide üzerinde kılavuz raylar aracılığıyla aşağı-
yukarı hareket etmektedir. Kılavuz raylar hareket sırasında ani hareket dalgalarının meydana …

This paper analytically investigates the application of cushion stoppers to a flat-sliding
structure having a non-modern sliding interface to suppress its residual sliding displacement …
