Abstract North East India is a highly seismically active zone of India due to the collision
tectonics between the Indian and the Eurasian plate in the north and subduction tectonics …

Several design codes consider the non-linear response of a building by using one of the
most important seismic parameters, called the response reduction factor (R). The lack of a …

There exists a close relationship between the architectural plan of a building and its
performance under earthquake ground motion. A building with a regular structure takes less …

The selection of an adequate response reduction factor (R) in the seismic design of a
reinforced concrete building is critical to the building's seismic response. To construct a …

The response of the building to an earthquake not only depends on the characteristics of the
building but also on those of earthquake ground motion. The present study intends to …

The friction pendulum system (FPS) is a crucial tool for seismic protection. However,
effectiveness in curved bridges, especially controlling torsional moments (TMs), has not …

The axle bridge plays a crucial role in the bogie of low-floor light rail vehicles, impacting
operational efficiency and fuel economy. To minimize the total cost of the structure and …

In the present study, the effect of radius of curvature on the seismic response of isolated
curved bridges has been determined. Three different types of isolation bearings, such as …

Bridge bearings perform the dual function of transferring reaction forces from the super-
structure to the sub-structure and facilitating the venting of possible extra stresses that may …

Curved bridges have seen widespread application in complex transportation networks,
including interchanges and river crossings. If the displacements caused by an earthquake …
