A Subbuteo‐Inspired Rolling Isolation System for Protecting Rigid Blocks
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
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.

ABSTRACT The response spectrum analysis method is one of the most widely used approaches developed to estimate the seismic demands of structural systems with minimal computational expense while maintaining high accuracy. The authors recently proposed a deep learning‐based combination (DC) rule to enhance the prediction accuracy of the response spectrum

Abstract In this work we present a novel monolithic Finite Element method for the hydroelastic analysis of very large floating structures (VLFS) with arbitrary shapes that is stable, energy conserving, and overcomes the need of an iterative algorithm. The new formulation enables a fully monolithic solution of the linear free‐surface flow, described by ...

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
