Performance of Floor Isolation equipped with Shape memory alloys [PDF]
مهندسی عمران شریف, 2021 Today, there is an increasing interest in use of seismic isolation to protect the structures against earthquakes. The most common type of seismic isolation is called base isolation, in which the isolation layer is installed under foundations to separate ...

Evaluation of the seismic performance of isolated electrical transformers under pulse-like excitations [PDF]
Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering, 2022 Damage sustained by electrical transformers in past strong earthquakes led to irrecoverable and severe economic losses. The seismic performance evaluation is associated with the loss of proper functioning of transformers.

Engineering Proceedings, 2023 An earthquake is a force which is unpredictable and can cause serious damage to a structure and its structural components. For improved safety, the seismic design of the building should be adequate, and measures should be taken for vibration control.

JAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, 2012 AbstractThis paper proposes a vertical distribution of seismic design load of seismically isolated buildings corresponding to diversity of seismic isolation devices such as hysteretic dampers and/or velocity‐dependent dampers. This proposed method is obtained from the relationship between response amplification caused by higher‐mode responses and key ...

PROPOSAL OF A DESIGN CODE FOR SEISMIC ISOLATION OF BUILDINGS IN COLOMBIA [PDF]
World Conference on Seismic Isolation, Energy Dissipation and Active Vibration Control of Structures, 2019 The current seismic design Colombian code (NSR-10) indicates that isolated buildings shall be designed according to USA documents (mainly ASCE 7). Such regulations are fitted to the particular US conditions, not being completely applicable to foreign countries.

Selection of seismic isolation system parameters for the near-optimal design of structures
Scientific Reports, 2022 The benefits of seismic isolation are many. Structures that are isolated from the ground seismically perform better than those that are not. They experience reduced floor accelerations and drifts and are less likely to experience damage to structural ...
