Abstract: Abstract In this study, a new damping reduction equation is proposed to obtain reasonable estimates of the actual nonlinear responses of seismic isolated structures (SIS) subjected to near fault ground motions (NFGM) with forward-rupture-directivity effect,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2020.106323
Abstract: Abstract This work investigates the dynamic behaviour of a multi-storey frame building, assumed as the structure to be controlled, connected with an adjacent support structure by means of horizontal fluid viscous dampers. The dampers connection… read more here.
