A concrete filled steel tubular laminated column and reinforced concrete core wall structure is located in a region of seismic intensity 7. There are three floors undergr [...]

The large shaking-table operation induced vibration to the free-field is concerned by the nearby users of precise instruments laboratory and refinement processing worksho [...]

The elastomeric isolation system is not commonly adopted in high-rise construction and buildings with large aspect ratio, due to large overturning moment and subsequent d [...]

Flat slabs are a common floor system for commercial and residential buildings. Past earthquake damage has shown that slabcolumn (SC) frames are not a suitable main latera [...]

In the past decade, the friction pendulum system (FPS) has been verified as a reliable seismic resisting. The longer vibration period and the concentration of energy diss [...]

Viscoelastic damper is a kind of widely-used energy dissipation device, which can be equipped in building structures for wind or earthquake vibration control. However, th [...]

A four-tower high-rise with an isolated sky-corridor on the top has been designed in the seismic region of China. The 300 meters long sky corridor bridges the four 230 me [...]

Wind loading is critical for a long-span and flexible bridge under operation. This paper studied the wind loading on a sea-crossing bridge, namely the Main Navigational C [...]
