Although civil engineering problems are often characterized by significant levels of
complexity, they are generally approached and solved by combining several practitioners' …

Timber structures traditionally provided satisfactory seismic performance due to multiple
known features. However, the consequences of the last major earthquakes have clearly …

The tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) is an enhanced variant of the tuned mass damper
(TMD) that benefits from the mass‐amplification effect of the inerter. Here, a multi‐TMDI …

This paper presents the results of the ongoing work on the revision of the provisions for the
seismic design of timber buildings in Europe included within Chapter 8 of Eurocode 8. The …

Glass systems and facades are widely used in building structures, due to a multitude of
aspects. Beside these motivations, from a pure structural point of view, glazing envelopes …

An innovative self-centering steel–timber hybrid shear wall (SC-STHSW) system is proposed
in this paper. The SC-STHSW system is composed of two subsystems: the posttensioned …

This paper introduces a novel seismic isolation system based on metamaterial concepts for
the reduction of ground motion‐induced vibrations in fuel storage tanks. In recent years, the …

When the characteristics of the main structure are changed, tuned mass damper (TMD) is
easy to meet off-tuning problem. The object of this study is to develop a TMD with shape …

Abstract Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) can represent an attracting solution to mitigate
vibrations of a structure under seismic excitation, but their effectiveness can be considerably …

Cross laminated timber (CLT) is becoming increasingly popular for constructing multiple-
story buildings due to its alignment with Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations …
