The present paper investigates the effectiveness of a bio-inspired semi-active controller to reduce seismic-induced vibrations in building structures. The control system [...]

Numerical modeling of MR dampers based on parametric models constitutes one of the main methodologies to simulate the behavior of this type of devices. However, its highl [...]

This work contributes to a better understanding of the seismic response of cantilevered sign support structures used in highways. For such, the present paper presents a c [...]

The main goal of this work was to evaluate the response of the diagonals members of steel lattice towers with circular cross-sections under the wind load determined accor [...]

The work presented in this paper pretends to structure the main concepts associated with the design of a guyed tower. In this context, are presented the theoretical found [...]

This work presents a comparative study of the response of a highway cantilever sign support when subjected to natural winds, with and without a TMD. The paper starts with [...]

This paper addresses basic concepts regarding the wind effects on a lattice wind tower with 150 m of height and the subsequent wind responses. The methodology presented f [...]

This paper provides a brief description of MR fluid technology and MR fluid based devices. Analytical and experimental investigations about MR dampers covering their rheo [...]

This work addresses basic concepts regarding the wind effects on tall buildings and their subsequent wind responses. The methodology proposed in Eurocode 1 for quantifica [...]
