The theory of nonlinear vibration isolation has witnessed significant developments due to
pressing demands for the protection of structural installations, nuclear reactors, mechanical …

An update state-of-the-art review of the behaviour of isolated bridges to seismic excitation is
presented. The review includes the literature on theoretical aspects of seismic isolation …

The tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) couples the classical tuned mass damper (TMD) with
an inerter, a mechanical device whose generated force is proportional to the relative …

Friction isolation bearings are widely used in engineering structures, which exhibit good
seismic isolation effects. Peak displacement of friction isolation bearing is crucial to measure …

The study analyzes the influence of double concave friction pendulum (DCFP) isolator
properties on the seismic performance of isolated multispan continuous deck bridges. The …

Seismic isolation can be used as a practical method to mitigate earthquake hazards for
designing new highway bridges or retrofitting existing ones. To realize a reliable and …

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 …

Abstract The double concave Friction Pendulum (DCFP) bearing is an adaptation of the well‐
known single concave Friction Pendulum bearing. The principal benefit of the DCFP bearing …
