Proper parameterization of near‐fault ground motions is of critical importance in earthquake
engineering, and this process is traditionally performed by directly fitting an analytical pulse …

Seismic pounding has taken place in several earthquake events since adjacent structures
that lack adequate separation distance usually suffer from repetitive, severe collisions …

For the purpose of reducing computational cost, this paper presents an extension of the
Proper Orthogonal Decomposition method (POD) to nonlinear dynamic analysis of …

The adjacent structures are easy to impact under earthquake, and the huge impact force will
destroy the structural members, such as beams and columns, and even cause partial or total …

Architectural aspects of buildings, such as the shape of the plan, play an important role in
defining the seismic behavior of the building and the future damages structural and non …

One of the established conditions of structural regularity in modern Mexican seismic codes is
that a rigid and strong diaphragm has to be provided at each story. However, this condition …

This paper proposes an adaptive friction isolation system (AFIS) composed of shape
memory alloy (SMA) cables and double friction pendulum bearings (FPBs). Double FPBs …

As an effective measure to decrease the residual displacement under earthquakes,
unbonded prestressed concrete (UBPRC) columns have been carefully investigated in …

Experimental simulation and parametric studies have been conducted to investigate the
effect of pounding in base-isolated (BI) frame structures with expansion gaps. Earthquakes …

Base‐isolated hospitals are frequently preferred to fixed‐base ones because of their
improved seismic structural performance. Despite this, the question remains open on the …
