Seismic isolation and damping systems have been widely adopted since the 1980s as effective and economical measures for protecting civil structures, ...
Seismic isolation is a critical engineering strategy that decouples structures from ground motion, thereby mitigating the destructive impacts of earthquakes. Elastomeric bearings, typically comprised ...
Recent studies have shown that the seismic load case can substantially increase the overnight capital cost (OCC) of safety-class equipment in advanced nuclear power plants. Seismic isolation can ...
Seismic isolation systems offer an invaluable means of protecting buildings from earthquake‐induced forces by decoupling the structure from ground motion. Recent technological advances have focused on ...
Researchers have developed a novel negative-stiffness isolation device that offers a pioneering solution for seismic protection. The device, designed to provide multidirectional negative stiffness and ...
