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 [...]

An efficient hybrid structural system is obtained when reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are used in conjunction with steel perimeter frames. Core walls can be effectiv [...]

A new type of energy dissipation device, lead viscoelastic damper(LVD), was introduced, and the principle, configuration, characteristics of LVD are illustrated.The LVD, [...]

The twotower building with enlarged base is a highrise building form favored by the architect. In this paper the ambient vibration measurement was conducted on a 86meter [...]

Following the prototype of a 12-storey residential building, a 1/10 scaled model of RC short limb shear wall structure was designed and constructed. And the seismic resis [...]

When structures possess multiple fold eigenvalues, the orthogonality among different modes no longer exists in most cases. Therefore, in this paper, transfer function met [...]
