A Subbuteo‐Inspired Rolling Isolation System for Protecting Rigid Blocks
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates a Subbuteo‐inspired rolling isolation system (RIS) as an effective means for protecting rigid blocks. The block is assumed to be rigidly connected to a curved base sector, allowing it to roll back and forth freely under dynamic excitations. The intrinsic trait of the proposed isolation concept is that the rigid block is

Experimental Investigation of an Earthquake‐Resistant Steel Bridge Substructure System
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The grouted shear stud connection has been experimentally shown to provide two‐column steel bridge bent systems with seismic resistance. It achieves this by relocating the plastic hinging to the column section, thereby mobilizing the full strength and ductility of the steel columns.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, seismic demand on nonstructural components (NSCs) was analyzed using a combined structural‐nonstructural 2‐degree‐of‐freedom (2‐DOF) model. This model was specifically employed to incorporate coupling effects, which arise from the dynamic interaction between supporting structures and NSCs. The effect of structure‐NSC coupling on
