Since the early ages of human existence on Earth, humans have fought against natural
hazards for survival. Over time, the most dangerous hazards humanity has faced are …

In the last two decades, model predictive control has made significant progress in research
and industrial process control. This achievement is through the high ability of model …

In recent years, vibration control of structures subjected to the wind, earthquakes and traffic
loads has been broadly studied. Based on this, different types of dampers and control …

Soft soil sites can amplify the peak acceleration by a factor of 1.5 to 3.5 and exhibit the
filtering effect on seismic waves. This effect results in the attenuation of high frequencies …

Pounding between adjacent buildings subjected to ground motion excitation is one of the
most dangerous phenomena for building safety. In this paper, three novel configurations are …

A new hybrid coupling beam incorporating buckling restrained energy dissipaters and
viscous dampers was previously recommended. The beam can effectively reduce the floor …

Single-rod magneto-rheological dampers (MRD) have the advantages of a simple
mechanism, high reliability, and broad application range. They are widely used in various …

This study proposes a new methodology, based on the optimization procedure by a
metaheuristic algorithm, for designing a hybrid vibration control system to mitigate the …

Purpose Rubber-based isolation systems produce enormous isolator displacement,
requiring large seismic gap and causing excessive residual displacement, which can …

In the present paper, a semi-active damping control approach is proposed for the resilient
design of façades subjected to extreme loads in the form of blast excitation. A 4 degrees of …
