Earlier studies have shown conclusively that a Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD) is effective for controlling vibrations in structures subjected to narrow-banded wind excitations. A recent numerical study has shown that if the ...

Many old damaged and undamaged building structures do not meet the criteria of modern seismic design codes. Such structures need to be seismically enhanced. The main objective of this paper is to propose and validate the ...

In this paper the seismic evaluation of reinforced concrete structures in petrochemical facilities under sever conditions such as high pressure, high temperature and corrosive environment is studied. These structures were ...

The performance of dual-layer multiple tuned mass dampers (DL-MTMD) with uniformly distributed natural frequencies is investigated. The DL-MTMD consists of one large tuned mass damper (L-TMD) and an arbitrary number of ...
