After the forced vibration tests, we have continued seismic observations at the experiment site (two types of foundation blocks, that is CF and IF, and their surrounding [...]

This study focuses on the progress of the damping and mitigation performance of foundations that will be built at soft ground sites, and proposes an improved foundation t [...]

This paper presents an inverse design method of SDOF structures through performance-based diagrams which can easily estimate the suitable design parameters for various da [...]

This paper presents a new response control method for building structures against earthquakes by making use of the inertia element connected between mass points. The devi [...]
