The building mass damper (BMD) system, which incorporates the concept of a tuned mass damper into a mid-story isolation system, has been demonstrated as an effective system for suppressing structural vibration due to earthquakes. The BMD system separates

In the design of cold-formed steel (CFS) buildings, sheathings are used to provide lateral resistance to seismic or wind load. Many researchers have thoroughly studied the basic behavior of different sheathing (including walls sheathed with plywood ...

Effect of Spacing and Slenderness Ratio of Piles on the Seismic Behavior of Building Frames
The general assumption of a rigid base at the bottom of building structures during analysis and design underestimates the seismic response. Building structures resting on loose sand and soft clayey soil are vulnerable to earthquake forces.

Shake Table Tests on Infill Plasterboard Partitions [PDF]
Shaking table tests are performed to investigate the seismic behaviour of plasterboard partitions. A steel test frame is properly designed in order to simulate the seismic effects at a generic building storey. The tests are performed shaking the table simultaneously in both horizontal directions.

Shake table tests of an industrial building
Shake table tests are conducted on a scaled frame model
of an industrial building, which has irregular story heights, different beam span lengths, and uneven weight distribution. Its elastic and inelastic responses are observed under simulated earthquakes.
