Modeling seismic isolators, one of the most effective installations in the design of earthquake-resistant buildings, is a very important challenge. In this study, we propose a new energy-based approach for the optimization of seismic isolation parameters.

One of the approaches to reduce excessive oscillation on buildings due to dynamic forces is by installing a mechanical device called tuned mass damper (TMD). This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of TMDs installed on the top story of 1, 5, 10,

Influence of near-fault effects and of incident angle of earthquake waves on the seismic inelastic demands of a typical Jack-Up platform [PDF]
In this paper, the potential influence of near-fault effects and of the incident angle of earthquake waves to the seismic response of a typical jack-up offshore platform is assessed by means of incremental dynamic analysis involving a three dimensional ...

Global-Local Seismic Performance Discrepancy in Top-Heavy Adaptive Reuse Buildings on Soft Soil
Adaptive reuse of existing high-rise buildings often introduces severe vertical mass irregularities, particularly when functional changes significantly increase live loads.
