The main objective of the research is to evaluate, analytically and experimentally, applicability of a new earthquake protective system called Seismic Soil Isolation. |
 |
It is quite possible to disperse the seismic wave energy between a wide range of frequencies of oscillation by the way of properly configuring a building elevation. |
 |
This research is both analytical and experimental. It will estimate globally a new passive structural control technique called Earthquake-Protective Building Buffer. |
 |
The objective of this investigation is to determine how well the four base isolated buildings located in Los Angeles area survived the 1994 Northridge earthquake. |
 |
The research is to verify whether, when and how effectively the concept of structural control of buildings could be utilized for the housing projects with limited budgets. |
 |
The goal of this investigation is to scrutinize the concept of Seismic Isolation and determine how well the new technology performed at recent California earthquakes. |
 |
The global optimization technique called Charts of Seismic Performance represents |
 |
Being tuned, with the help of their geometry/material properties, to the main natural frequencies of the building, MFQBS cantilevers act as partial tuned mass dampers. |
 |
Being incorporated into a building structure, EP reduces an earthquake impact while PIFS increases survivability of a structure under extreme loads like blast or hurricane |
