Vibration control devices such as tuned mass dampers (TMDs), tuned liquid dampers (TLD) and other supplemental damping devices have been used to improve the vibration per [...]

Communications conduits contribute to more-efficient operation and maintenance of underground cables, and must provide protection for the cables within the conduits when [...]

Focusing on uneven settlement of ground near a box culvert, seen at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, this study is based on an example in which optical cables [...]

Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) for the vertical acceleration of a flexible single degree-of-freedom test rig with a standing body have been measured with sweeping ha [...]

Viscous liquid dampers can be installed in high-rise buildings of high intensive seismic regions to reduce their responses under earthquake. The placements of dampers are [...]

Modeling errors, represented as uncertainty associated with the parameters of a mathematicalmodel, inevitably exist in the process of constructing a theoreticalmodel of r [...]
