Shaking Table Tests of Curved Bridge considering Bearing Friction Sliding Isolation

Shock and Vibration, 2016
Specific to severe damage to curved bridges in earthquakes caused by the excessive force of the fixed bearings and piers, a new seismic design method on curved bridges considering bearing friction sliding isolation is proposed in this paper.

Design Principles of Seismic Isolation

, 2012
In earthquake resistance design of structures, two general concepts have been used. The first is to increase the capacity of the structures to resist the earthquake load effects (mostly horizontal forces) or to increase the dynamic stiffness such as the seismic energy dissipation ability by adding damping systems (both devices and/or structural fuses).

Demystifying the Barriers and Motivators for the Adoption of Base Isolation Systems in New Zealand

Buildings, 2022
A base isolator is a proven system that can significantly reduce any damage to a building in the event of an earthquake. Despite their efficacy, seismic isolators are not widely used in New Zealand, with only about forty systems in use during the 2010 ...

Seismically Isolating a Structure: A Rational Approach for Feasibility Assessment and Definition of Basic Parameters

Eng
Although conceptually simple, the application of seismic isolation can pose dangerous pitfalls. It is based on decoupling the dynamic response of a structure from the ground motion by inserting isolation devices at its base.

Semi-actively Implemented Non-linear Damping for Building Isolation Under Seismic Loadings

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
It is well-known that semi-active solution can achieve building isolation with much less energy requirements than active solutions. Also, it has been shown in previous studies that compared to linear damping, non-linear damping performs better for ...
