Recently, the number of monitoring reports of seismically isolated building is gradually increasing. In this paper, a long-term dense monitoring system of seismically iso [...]

This paper discusses the full-size experiment of beam-column-gusset plate assemblies. High strength and high ductility are required so that the passively-controlled struc [...]

In Japan there are 10 million inadequate wooden houses against building standard law and most of them (approximately 90 percent) are composed of conventional post-and-bea [...]

Realistic three-dimensional shaking table tests will be conducted in February and March 2009 for full-scale 5-story building specimens with dampers. The building will be [...]

This paper describes finite element analysis of subassemblies composed of beams, columns, and gusset plates in passively controlled buildings. Numerical analysis with con [...]
