Lead Rubber Bearings (LRBs) represent one of the most widely employed devices for the
seismic protection of structures. However, the effectiveness of the same in the case of curved …

This study aims to understand the behaviour of a base isolated l-shaped building under far
field and near field earthquake ground motion. A ten-storey l-shaped building was …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Seismic isolation has been widely accepted as one of the techniques that can be used to
protect structures during earthquake ground motions. However, some challenges still exist …

The selection of bearings for a bridge is crucial from a design point of view for an engineer.
In India, there are several bearing types available for bridge seismic protection. However …
