The concept of seismic isolation is well established. Provisions for seismic isolation are
gradually being included in building and design codes around the world. Consequently, the …

Restrainer-type sliding bearing (RTSB) is a practical seismic isolation system for reducing
the excessive displacement of flat sliding bearings under strong earthquakes to ensure the …

Past earthquakes have demonstrated that fault-crossing bridges were susceptible to
damage or even collapse. This study focused on investigating the effects of fault rupture on …

Bridge structures across active faults suffer the serious threats from large surface
deformation and velocity pulses. This study focuses on developing a multi-criteria optimizing …

This study deals with two new generation smart high damping rubber bearings (HDRBs)
incorporated with shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. Due to the superelastic effect and the re …

This paper provides a comparative study on the crashworthiness of different functionally-
graded thin-wall tubes under multiple loading angles, which include hollow uniform …

The SCOPUS and Wed of Science bibliometric databases were searched for papers related
to the use of multi-criteria methods in civil engineering related disciplines. The results were …

Considering the flexibility of isolation bearings, isolated bridges are susceptible to unseating
problems or even collapse due to excessive displacement under strong earthquakes. Shape …

High-speed railway are mostly long-line structures stretching for several kilometers, and the
seismic response analysis of individual stations cannot accurately determine the overall …

This research conducts a sensitivity analysis on the mechanical properties of lead core
rubber bearings (LCRBs). Here, the input variables include: number of rubber layers, lead …
