Restrainer is a promising solution for deformation control of isolated systems. The present
study comprehensively discusses the behavior, design and potential application of a novel …

Unbonded fiber‐reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are a cost‐effective seismic
isolation technology that uses lightweight fiber‐fabric reinforcement and forgoes the …

This research paper presents an in-depth investigation into the seismic response of hybrid
structures integrated with fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) and base isolation. Severe seismic …

Base isolation is a proven technology effective in minimizing earthquake-induced damage to
both the structural and non-structural elements (especially freestanding contents) of …

Securing the stability of seismic isolation structures under extreme loads is one of the
challenges for countries located in earthquake-prone areas. In Japan, large-scale …

The high-aspect ratio of structures is usually limited to a small range for base isolation (BI),
due to the necessity of ensuring resistance to overturning. This limitation restricts the …

The choice of element formulation concerning distributed plasticity and dam** models for
inelastic systems has not been extensively studied in the context of spatial structures. The …

In this study, the effects of gravity framing and composite action on the residual drift
performance of steel special moment frames (SMFs) are investigated. Four steel structures …

To facilitate the logistic processes within a modern warehouse, the contents of steel racking
systems are not mechanically connected to the supporting beams, allowing a content …

Recent seismic analyses indicate that the structural dam** ratio should be considered
frequency-independent, for safe and accurate estimations. In response, dam** models …
