Seismic Cloaking Protection from Earthquakes
2018 IEEE International Symposium on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST), 2018Each year, large ground motions from earthquakes cause infrastructure damage and loss of life worldwide. Here we present a novel concept that redirects and attenuates hazardous seismic waves using an engineered seismic-muffler acting as a cloaking device.

SEISMIC PROTECTION OF STATUES. A CASE STUDY
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019The analysis of rocking behaviour is a key aspect of safety assessment the maintenance of artifacts, like statues vases, since the rocking itself can be the cause of damage at the base of the object, due to impact with the support. By seismic excitation, a freestanding object may in fact enter a rocking state which would cause overturning, so that ...

Seismicity, seismological network and seismic protection in Ukraine
2012 IV International Conference "Problems of Cybernetics and Informatics" (PCI), 2012Seismicity of the territory of East European platform within the Ukraine boundary is defined with influence of the powerful seismic active belt of planet, which includes the western, south-western and south regions of country as well as is linked with the large-scale local geological processes in the Earth's crust and upper mantle.

Earthquake Protection Through Seismic Isolation
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1996Abstract The basic problem in designing earthquake-resistant low- to medium-rise structures it that their fundamental frequency of vibration is in the range of frequencies where earthquake energy is the strongest. The building, therefore, acts as an amplifier of the ground vibrations, with the floor accelerations increasing over the height of the ...

Seismic Protection of Monuments
2009Seismic protection of buildings is a well established scientific and technological domain. The knowledge needed to this end, is not the subject of this lecture. Instead, only the particularities of the seismic re-design of monuments are discussed, resulting in their structural repair or strengthening.
