With critical lessons drawn from past major earthquakes, the engineering community is
appealing for a fundamental shift in the existing design philosophy for structures in seismic …

The historical development and practical implementation of structural base isolation systems
that work on the principle of friction are discussed in the light of analytical, numerical, and …

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 …

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

This research deals with the seismic reliability of non‐linear base‐isolated structures
equipped with Lateral Impact Resilient Double Concave Friction Pendulum (LIR‐DCFP) …

Base isolation has emerged as one of the most effective high-tech strategies for protecting
infrastructure under seismic loading. This review paper discusses the historical development …

Seismic isolation or “aseismic base isolation” is an earthquake protection strategy that aims
to uncouple the motion of a structure from the ground shaking and thereby reduce structural …

Base isolation systems are widely used as an effective and practical solution to protect the
structure and non-structural elements from seismic hazards. However, the excessive …

Seismic isolation is a technique that has been used around the world to protect building
structures, nonstructural components and content from the damaging effects of earthquake …

This paper describes an experimental program to examine the force–displacement behavior
of a class of multi‐spherical sliding bearings. The primary goal of the experiments is to test …
