Seismic pounding mitigation of a modern heritage R/C bell tower [PDF]
, 2013 Pounding is one of the greatest sources of seismic vulnerability of pre-normative R/C structures, as they have often been built at poor distance from adjacent buildings.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2719-2741, September 2026.ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Damped interconnection-based mitigation of seismic pounding between a R/C tower and a masonry church [PDF]
, 2013 Damped interconnection represents an advanced strategy to mitigate the effects of seismic pounding between adjacent structures built at poor mutual distance. The effects of pounding can be particularly severe in slender R/C structures, including civic or

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2132-2150, August 2026.ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

State-of-the-art review on seismic induced pounding response of bridge structures
, 2013 Seismic induced pounding damage to bridge structures was repeatedly observed in many previous major earthquakes. To avoid this adverse effect, extensive research efforts have been made by many researchers. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review in

Seismic Pounding between Three Adjacent RC Buildings Considering Soil-Structure Interaction [PDF]
JES: Journal of Engineering SciencesIn highly populated cities, the close spacing of buildings often results in interaction effects, including structure–soil–structure interaction (SSSI) and seismic pounding (SP), which occur because of the limited gaps left between adjacent structures. In

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.This study investigates the performance of a tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) in enhancing the seismic performance of structures by focusing on the concept of effective damping ratio (EDR) and its enhancement through the effective damping ratio enhancement (EDRE) approach. An analytical model is developed for a single‐degree‐of‐freedom system subjected

Regional Seismic Wavefield Propagation [PDF]
, 2004 Through the examination of local and regional seismic waveform data the crust and upper mantle of southern California are investigated. Using local and regional seismic phases such as Pn, Sn, PL, and surface waves, seismic wave velocities of interesting
