Inter-story seismic isolation has become a valuable solution for high-rise buildings to
effectively separate the various parts having several functions, and thus different seismic …

In this paper, a new three-directional vibration isolator for buildings was developed to
suppress vertical metro vibrations and horizontal seismic vibrations simultaneously. The …

This study investigates the mechanical behaviour of elastomeric bearings with a low shape
factor (LSF). Such bearings can offer an effective solution for three-dimensional seismic …

Seismic isolation is an effective measure for mitigating earthquake hazard on important
structures such as bridges, hospitals, and nuclear power plants. Seismically isolated …

In this paper, the behavior of a natural rubber bearing system (NRBs) equipped with U-
shaped dampers is investigated. The U-shaped dampers consist of shaped memory alloy …

Seismic base isolators are used extensively in buildings, bridges, and critical infrastructure.
During a seismic event, these isolators simultaneously experience the service loads and the …

Building isolation is a practical and ubiquitous method for reducing inter-story drift and story
acceleration. Previously it has been shown that since an isolator can increase the time …

To enhance the seismic resilience of bridges equipped with nonseismic laminated rubber
bearings, a novel seismic isolation system is proposed, leveraging hybrid bonded and …

Continuous bridges are often equipped with bonded laminated rubber bearings (B-LRBs) to
accommodate the thermal movements of bridge superstructure. In addition to the shear and …
