This study presents a numerical investigation of the influence of spatial variability of earthquake ground motion, site effects and Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) pheno [...]

The aim of this study is to investigate the micro-behavior of the CAR1 device. This device was presented by Papadopoulos et al [1] and has the advantages to (i) provide a [...]

There is a great need to develop innovative devices for the absorption of dynamicseismic loads. The present study focuses on the development of such a passive mitigation [...]

It is well known that pre-existing buildings are often inadequate to resist strong ground motions, and that their seismic rehabilitation is not an easy task. Several stud [...]

Pentamode lattices are particular metamaterials belonging to the class of extremal materials, which feature a primitive unit cell equipped with four rods meeting at a poi [...]

Bridge rocking isolation has attracted the interest of the bridge engineering community, as it minimises damage in the structural system, which conforms to the objectives [...]

The present study is focusing on the experimental and numerical evaluation of the effectiveness of an antiseismic steel device. The developed device, mentioned as CAR1, b [...]
