Shape memory alloy (SMA)-based seismic isolation systems can successfully reduce the
peak and residual displacements of bridges during strong earthquake, but they commonly …

In recent decades, the seismic behavior of steel and steel reinforced concrete buildings has
been, in many cases, unsatisfactory. In fact, after the 1989 Loma Prieta, 1994 Northridge and …

This paper reports on an investigation of the seismic response of base-isolated reinforced
concrete buildings, which considers various isolation system parameters under bidirectional …

Recent destructions of structures due to insufficient isolator deformation capacity have led to
demands for greater seismic redundancy in seismic isolation design. For a friction pendulum …

Friction pendulum base isolation system (FPS) is currently a widely used practice for the
protection of structural and non-structural components of buildings against the destructive …

The current investigation has been conducted to examine the effect of the vertical
component of earthquake on the responses of base-isolated structures mounted on a triple …

Double concave friction pendulum system (DCFPS) performs well in the vibration control of
building structures, while its effectiveness is limited due to the absence of considering the …

The current investigation examines effects of the vertical component of earthquake on the
base-isolated structures response using friction pendulum system. The structure has been …

The development of variable friction base isolation systems (VFSs) is the object of an
ongoing international research project that involves extensive numerical and experimental …

The current investigation has been conducted to examine the effect of vertical component of
earthquake on the response of base-isolated structures using double concave friction …
