Modelling and Seismic Response Analysis of Existing Italian Residential RC Buildings Retrofitted by Seismic Isolation

Journal of earthquake engineering, 2022
The seismic performance of existing RC frame buildings seismically retrofitted by base isolation is examined. Two different types of isolation systems are considered, i.e.: rubber-based and friction-based isolation systems, respectively.

Experimental and numerical investigations on hysteretic response of a multi-level SMA/lead rubber bearing seismic isolation system

Smart materials and structures (Print), 2022
This study investigates the response of a shape memory alloy (SMA)-based isolation system that combines multiple groups of SMA cables and a lead rubber bearing (LRB).

Large‐scale field testing of geotechnical seismic isolation of structures using gravel‐rubber mixtures

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2021
We present the results of a large‐scale experimental campaign performed on the prototype structure of EuroProteas in Thessaloniki, Greece, to assess the effectiveness of gravel‐rubber mixture (GRM) layers underneath shallow foundations as a means of ...

Hybrid geotechnical and structural seismic isolation: Shake table tests

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2021
This paper proposes a hybrid seismic isolation system composed of geotechnical (a layer of sand or gravel as foundation soil) and structural isolation (a low‐friction foundation sliding layer), aiming to effectively improve the seismic performance of ...

Cyclic behavior of an adaptive seismic isolation system combining a double friction pendulum bearing and shape memory alloy cables

Smart materials and structures (Print), 2021
A new composite isolator named shape memory alloy cable-double friction pendulum bearing (SCDFPB), which combines a double friction pendulum bearing (DFPB) with superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) cables, is proposed.
