Rocking response of spread foundation has been found to be a unique isolation system in bridge structures. Through the extension of structural periods due to rocking mech [...]

This paper is aimed to study the effectiveness of Polynomial Rocking Bearing (PRB), a various-frequency sliding isolator, in decreasing the seismic responses of isolated [...]

The semiactive control system applied to a nonlinear isolated bridge with a magneto-rheological (MR) damper controlled by an improved sliding mode control algorithm is su [...]

The semi-active control with the advantages of both passive control and active control has been shown to be a promising strategy in mitigating seismic responses for isola [...]

A multi-function unseating prevention device is investigated to provide energy dissipation and to regulate the structural system properties other than the traditional fun [...]
