Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Liquid storage tanks exhibit complex dynamic behaviors under seismic excitation due to fluid−structure interaction, where resonance effects amplify sloshing, elevate hydrodynamic pressures, and increase the risk of structural damage. While traditional bearing−based isolation reduces seismic responses by introducing a flexible isolation layer, it ...

Mitigating Seismic Impacts on Asymmetric Structures Through Response Control Technologies
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The rise in irregular building construction, driven by esthetics and limited land availability, has led to increased vulnerability to lateral loads. Designers are adopting response control systems (RCSs) to ensure occupant safety and mitigate the risk of structural failure. Among the widely used RCSs are base isolators and dampers.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 53, Issue 15, Page 4581-4603, December 2024.Abstract To manage structural responses under various external forces, the increasing incorporation of seismic isolation and supplementary damping systems in modern civil engineering necessitates post‐installation performance assessments. The challenge of accurately inferring system information from these complex dynamical structures, especially with ...

Direct loss‐based seismic design of low‐rise base‐isolated reinforced concrete buildings
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 53, Issue 15, Page 4641-4669, December 2024.Abstract This paper proposes a procedure to design low‐rise base‐isolated structures achieving a specific target level of earthquake‐induced loss (e.g., dollars, downtime) while complying with a predefined minimum level of structural reliability.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 2888-2916, November 2024.The number of ground motions used in nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) determines the precision of the parameter estimates obtained in seismic performance assessments. While this issue has been extensively studied in the earthquake engineering literature, the relationship of probability model misspecification to parameter estimation ...

Optimization of Tuned Mass Damper for Adjacent Buildings with Equal Properties
, 2021 During earthquakes, adjacent structures may collide to each other because of insufficient seismic gap. By using tuned mass dampers (TMD), the sway of adjacent buildings be reduced and pounding of structures is prevented.

A Random Field Model of Multipoint Bouncing Loads and Its Applications
Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.In existing load models, the crowd bouncing load is often simplified as a single‐point excitation; moreover, these models lack data support from crowd bouncing experiments. Inspired by the random field models widely adopted in seismic ground motion fields, a random field model for crowd bouncing loads was established in this research.

Evaluation and Performance Testing of Eccentric Rolling Isolation System
Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Seismic isolation has become a widely accepted method for the protection of structures and nonstructural components. However, this control strategy is unfavorable against near‐fault earthquakes, particularly those featuring velocity‐pulse effects.
