In the past two decades, passive control strategies using isolation and fluid dampers have
been employed for the seismic protection of bridge highway structures. The isolation …

The increased demand in energy and the need for sustainable and renewable sources of
electricity in hazardous environments with significantly growing population yields the …

Earthquakes cause irreparable damages to the built environment, which has led bridge
engineers to develop structural control systems to mitigate damage and improve vibration …

Earthquakes can cause significant damage to constructed structures, leading engineers to
design systems that effectively reduce damage and improve real-time vibration control …

In the wake of the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes, structural designers
adopted performance-based engineering concepts instead of traditional deterministic …

A Nonlinear finite element model was developed to simulate the performance of geopolymer
concrete columns reinforced with fiberreinforced polymer (FRP) bars. The proposed model …

In the last two decades, the construction sector in UAE has been expanded to include a high
range of tall and supertall buildings. Geographically, this region is surrounded by multiple …

During their lifecycle, wind turbines can be subjected to multiple hazard loads, such as high-
intensity wind, earthquake, wave, and mechanical unbalance. Excessive vibrations, due to …

Abstract A Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is developed and evaluated for minimizing the
vibrations of a three-story model building. A Magnetorheological (MR) damper is utilized in …

During the 20 th century, over 1200 major earthquakes occurred, causing damage estimated
to be upwards to $1 trillion worldwide. On average, 10,000 people have died annually from …
