Element exchange search algorithm for optimal placement of viscous dampers for building structures
(2020-04-22)Optimal design of supplemental dampers efficiently enhances the seismic performance of structures. Existing methods of optimal damper placement design either require a large amount of iteration or can only reliably arrive ... -
Implimenting the NZSEE Seismic Isolation Guidlines: a practioners view over three new designs
(2020-04-22)The draft seismic isolation guidelines provide a significant step forward in promoting a consistent NZ approach to designing and demonstrating compliance in isolated buildings. This paper provides a practitioners’ point ... -
Modelling of vertical control in magnetic levitation for building isolation during earthquakes
(2020-04-22)Earthquakes cause significant damage to buildings due to strong vibration of the ground. Levitating houses using magnets and electromagnets would provide a complete isolation of ground motion for protecting buildings from ... -
Seismic base isolation of high-rise RC shear wall building using lead core rubber bearings
(2020-04-22)The use of base isolation technique is an effective way to control the seismic demands in buildings. The RC shear wall buildings represent the typical high-rise construction in several parts of the world. The seismic story ...
