Viscoelastic dampers dissipate energy through shear deformation of the viscoelastic materials; generating heat within the material causing it to soften. Therefore, under [...]

In the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, a lot of suspended ceilings suffered damage and collapsed due to lack of their seismic performance. New seismic st [...]

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 [...]

A lot of researches on the seismic vibration control system show that they have effect on mitigating seismic damage. Most researches on structures with damper devices sub [...]
