In this paper, the development of non-linear building isolation systems is overviewed. The
study summarizes commonly used linear building isolation systems in two categories, which …

The incorporation of base isolation in building construction in the region of medium risk
seismicity is now an important issue. Thorough investigation is needed for buildings located …

Dhaka is one of the most populated cities in the world, which means that the occurrence of
natural hazards will put the city in a critical situation. A seismic hazard analysis (SHA) is a …

Conventional building design includes the concept of providing more stiff structural solution
to withstand the lateral seismic loading. Introduction of flexible elements at the base of a …

By using high-ductile matrix material instead of just adding more reinforcement, Engineered
Cementitious Composites (ECC) offers an alternate method of improving the ductility of …

Although Dhaka city has experienced any moderate to large earthquakes in the past, some
recent ground shakings are certainly indications of its earthquake source and vulnerability …

Structural control through seismic isolation using elastomeric rubber bearing, which is also
known as High Dam** Rubber Bearing (HDRB), has seen an increase in use to provide …

Abstract A typical Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frame comprising of RC columns and
connecting beams that participates in resisting the earthquake forces. Due to earthquake …

Bangladesh is in a high-risk earthquake zone geographically. Although earthquake
prevention is impossible, earthquake damage can be minimized. A base isolation system …

The predominant lateral loads acting upon building structures are earthquake and wind
induced forces. If wind load is much greater than earthquake load, the lateral force resisting …
