In this study, a simple adaptive controller is developed to mitigate the responses of stationary equipment supporting structures subjected to seismic excitation. With a w [...]

Liquid storage tanks are vulnerable to a wide variety of failures under severe seismic excitation. Among all failure modes shell buckling and anchor bolt failures are the [...]

In the last three decades, many researches have been carried out on steel plate shear walls, SPSWs, and they have been introduced as seismic load resisting systems. Howev [...]

This paper presents results of using mass isolation system, MIS, with visco-elastic dampers in seismic design of structures or retrofitting of existing buildings. Herein, [...]
