This paper relates to response control of a base-isolated structure with a hybrid vibration device (“MR rotary inertia damper”) aiming at two purposes: 1) mass effect [...]

Base-isolation systems show high performance of reduced floor acceleration and deformation of superstructures during periods of strong earthquake ground motion. However, [...]

Recently, the possibility that a high-rise building generates the vibration with large displacement amplitude against the long-period earthquake ground motions by the oce [...]

This research focuses on the nonstructural components in high-rise buildings subjected to large seismic responses. A serious of large-scale shaking table tests is conduct [...]

Magnetorheological fluid damper (MR damper) has been expected to control the response of civil and building structures in recent years, because of its large force capacit [...]
