A case study where a tuned mass damper (TMD) was installed at the top of a five-story reinforced concrete (RC) building is presented. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of the TMD in changing the structural behavior of medium-rise ...

Base isolation of liquid storage tanks has proven to be an efficient seismic protection measure, leading to a drastic reduction of a superstructure?s distress. However, many such tanks are located near seismic tectonic faults, which generate strong pulse...

A five-story moment frame structural model with a base isolation system was tested on a shaking table. The isolation system comprised both linear natural rubber bearing (LNR) and nonlinear viscous dampers (NLVDs). Seven ground motions were employed: incl...

This paper investigates a type of linear vibration isolator which incorporates two passive devices, negative stiffness elements and an inerter, into the conventional isolator (massstiffnessdamper). Two configurations of the passive devices are considered...

A novel design of a vibration energy absorbing mechanism (VEAM) that is based on multi-physics (magnetic spring, hydraulic system, structural dynamics, etc.) for cable vibration is proposed. The minimum working force of the hydraulic cylinder has been ex...
