A Fail-safe, Bi-Linear Liquid Spring, Controllable Magnetorheological Fluid Damper for a Three-dimensional Earthquake Isolation System
… nonstructural components and contents. Seismic isolation systems, which consist of layers of rubber or friction bearings separating the building from its foundation, are effective in protecting buildings from damage due to horizontal ground shakings. However, recent realistic large-scale …

Fundamental Dynamics and Performance Assessment of Three-Dimensional Seismic Isolation
Seismic isolation is an effective technique used to mitigate effects of ground shaking and achieve higher seismic performance in building structures. Recent research has suggested that vertical excitation has significant effects on the structural response during an earthquake. In this dissertation, …
