Seismic isolation and damping systems have been widely adopted since the 1980s as effective and economical measures for protecting civil structures, ...

The five-year research program considered the seismic design of corrugated metal decks, with and without concrete topping, as a diaphragm system that is an integral part of the steel structure. Photo ...

A team led by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency has concluded a series of large-scale demonstration tests for an innovative new floating seismic isolation system intended for pairing with small modular ...

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

We all know concrete is a top construction material known for its compressive strength and durability. But over time, even the strongest placements can be affected by outside factors, like seismic ...

The need to account for earthquake hazards in switchgear design affects nearly all of us An earthquake will occur today. The same can be said for tomorrow and the day after. Most of these quakes will ...
