When civil structures are equipped with earthquake protective systems such as damping devices and base isolators, they are likely to be non-classically damped. In additio [...]

A new roller seismic isolation bearing is developed for use in highway bridges. This new bearing uses rolling of cylindrical rollers on V-shaped sloping surfaces to achie [...]

Accurate estimation of the seismic response of structures is an important issue in aseismic design. Under earthquake excitations, the deformation and internal force distr [...]
