Experimental and analytical studies on Concave Sliding Surface devices have underlined that the hysteretic characteristics under bi-directional input motion are highly no [...]

A general seismic event can be considered as the superposition of two individual time histories of ground acceleration, acting simultaneously at the base of a structural [...]

The frictional response of Concave Surface Slider (CSS) devices has been more and more investigated both experimentally and numerically. These isolators have shown many a [...]

Nowadays, the use of seismic isolation within the Italian and European context is gaining more and more acknowledgement, thanks to the high level of protection which can [...]
