A Triangular Added Damping and Stiffness (TADAS) device is an economic energy dissipation solution to improve the earthquake performance of flexible buildings. TADAS devi [...]

In this research the comprehensive development of a long-stroke MR-damper designed to control the earthquake performance of an existing 21-story reinforced concrete build [...]

The scope of this article is the design, testing, implementation and health-monitoring of viscous fluid dampers in a real building. First, a numerical model that captures [...]

Risk evaluation and loss analysis is key in foreseeing the impact of disasters caused by natural hazards, and may contribute effectively in improving resilience in a comm [...]

This study quantifies the epistemic uncertainty of several modeling assumptions in evaluating the seismic response of six reinforced concrete free-plan office buildings l [...]

During the great 2010, Chile earthquake, reinforced concrete (RC) buildings showed adequate performance. However, in some of them a particular damage pattern involving br [...]
