Dynamic identification of the Augusta hybrid base isolated building using data from full scale push and sudden release tests
A three-story reinforced concrete building in Augusta (IT), isolated at the base and designed according to the provisions of the latest Italian seismic regulations, was subjected to a series of push and sudden release tests in March 2013. The Augusta isolation system is hybrid, consisting of 16 …

On the performance of base-isolated buildings: a generic model
… traffic propagates through the ground and into buildings, resulting in unacceptable levels of internal noise and vibration. A common solution to this increasingly significant problem is the base-isolation of buildings by incorporating vibration isolation bearings between the buildings and their …

Multi-resonant Electromagnetic Shunt in Base Isolation for Vibration Damping and Energy Harvesting
… induced vibrations of low- or mid-rise buildings, and at the same time to efficiently harvest utility-scale energy by using an optimally configured multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt in base isolation. In this research, two multi-resonant shunt configurations, parallel and series, were …

A performance-based design framework for base-isolated buildings against ground-borne vibration
\noindent Ground-borne vibration in buildings is a recurrent design concern for new developments in the vicinity of surface or underground railways, a common question being whether or not a building necessitates some form of vibration mitigation. This question is commonly tackled by comprehensive …

Development of Electromagnetic Friction Dampers for Improving Seismic Performance of Civil Structures
… affect the seismic response of a multi-story base-isolated building as it undermines the seismic isolation system by inserting high-frequency pulses into the floor acceleration. This may pump a considerable portion of the seismic input energy into higher modes, resulting in the increase of the …
