Buildings’ pounding is described as the collision between adjacent buildings resulting from certain excitations, and more specifically seismic excitations. Avoiding pou [...]

Most of the base-isolated buildings are designed and tested for design basis far-field ground motion. This leaves a scope for investigation of seismic vulnerability of ba [...]

MR damper is a semi-active control device used effectively to control the response of building frames for earthquakes. In most practical situations, it is not possible to [...]

During earthquake, it is quite often seen that two similar structures (building frames) constructed at the same time and at the same location behave differently; one may [...]

Seismic response of two adjacent buildings, namely ten and eight storeys inter-connected through semi-active VF damper in which ten storeys building being isolated is inv [...]

Earthquake hazard mitigation through structural control approach has become very popular and practicable over last two decades. Researchers have developed various control [...]
