Base isolation of structures with a friction pendulum system (FPS) has been a topic of great
interest for research in the past. The efficiency of the FPS system in isolating a structure …

Isolation technology has been successfully applied in seismic migration. With increasing of
seismic demand, seismic performance of isolation structures subjected to very-rare …

In this paper, attempts are made to investigate the responses of torsionally coupling base-
isolated structure supported on Triple Concave Friction pendulum bearing (TFP) subjected …

A new hybrid isolator consisting of elastomeric bearing, sliding parts and yielding dampers
named friction–yielding–elastomeric bearing (FYEB) is proposed. In this hybrid isolator, the …

Friction isolators are one of the most important types of bearings used to mitigate damages
of earthquakes. The adaptive behavior of these isolators allows them to achieve multiple …

The torsion in the seismic behaviour of base-isolated structures due to two horizontal
components of ground motion was studied, simultaneously. To this end, the variation in …

The main objective of seismic isolation is to uncouple the dynamic response of the structure
from the ground motions by using special devices, commonly known as base isolators. Base …

The main principle of seismic isolation is introducing a flexible and energy dissipative layer
between the structure and the soil underneath, in order to reduce the seismic forces …

Sloshing is a phenomenon describing the disturbance in an unrestrained free surface of
liquid in a container. It encompasses a wide spectrum of problems of engineering interest …

El objetivo fundamental del aislamiento sísmico es desacoplar la respuesta dinámica de la
estructura de los movimientos del terreno mediante la introducción de dispositivos …
