This paper investigates the rocking response of a slender column that is vertically restrained
with an elastic tendon that passes through its centerline. Following a variational formulation …

This paper describes an experimental program to examine the dynamic response of
deformable cantilevers rocking on a rigid surface. The primary goal of the tests is to verify …

This paper proposes a novel computationally economical stochastic dynamics framework to
estimate the peak inelastic response of yielding structures modelled as nonlinear multi …

This paper reviews the applications of the multi degree-of-freedom (MDOF) equivalent linear
system in seismic analysis and design of planar steel and reinforced concrete framed …

In this paper, time history analyses are carried out on a structure seismically isolated with
fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs). The lateral response of the isolators is …

An improved formula to determine the equivalent viscous dam** ratio of a single-degree-
of-freedom (SDOF) bilinear oscillator is proposed in this paper, which simultaneously …

In this paper, an AP/VP specific equivalent viscous dam** model is proposed through
regression analysis to predict the maximum inelastic displacement of base-isolated …

The equivalent dam** concept originally proposed by Lydik Jacobsen in 1930 is revisited
in order to be of use in the seismic analysis of building structures. After briefly recalling that …

This study evaluates the accuracy of an equivalent linear model in predicting peak nonlinear
time-history displacement of seismic isolation systems with single friction pendulum …
