Abstract According to the basic concept of seismic isolation, the base-isolated structures must remain elastic during an earthquake. On the one hand, the existing technical documentation and codes strongly noted that the superstructure of... more
A displacement-based design (DBD) procedure for buildings equipped with different seismic isolation systems is proposed. It has been derived from the Direct Dispaced-Based Design (DDBD) method recently developed by Priestley et al.... more
The use of seismic isolation for the seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings is very attractive but often very tricky due to several aspects related to its implementation. In this paper, a case study of seismic rehabilitation of a... more

In this paper, simplified methods for the design of bridges equipped with strongly nonlinear isolation systems (IS) are examined. Reference is made to the single mode method (SMM), adopted in many seismic codes and guidelines for the... more
Due to the killing thousands of people in the twentieth century and seismicity of our country, earthquakes are one of the most important natural hazards for our country. Therefore the earthquake resistance of structural system plays... more
The study of this paper is on seismic isolation. It is the most powerful technique to protect the building from structural and non-structural damages of earthquake. Seismic isolation are commonly known as Base isolation system, that is... more
A Displacement-Based Design (DBD) procedure for bridges equipped with different seismic Isolation Systems (IS's) is proposed. It has been derived from the Direct DBD method recently developed by Priestley and co-workers. The key aspect of... more
Three different isolation systems (IS's) for bridges and viaducts are considered in the present study. All of them are made of steel-PTFE sliding bearings (SB) to support the weight of the deck and auxiliary devices, based on different... more
As one of the working commissions in CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction), the Commission W114 (Earthquake Engineering and Buildings) was established in November 2006 and the JSSI (Japan... more
Fiber-reinforced isolators not anchored to the structure represent a new development in seismic isolation. Their light weight, low cost and great ease of installation, in comparison with conventional elasto-meric isolators, could allow to... more
The seismic isolation system is a structurally applicable construction method for newly constructed buildings and existing buildings for retrofitting. A lot of seismically isolated (SI) buildings (higher than three-story building) have... more
SUMMARY Two families of passive seismic control devices exploiting the peculiar properties of shape memory alloy (SMA) kernel components have been implemented and tested within the MANSIDE project (Memory Alloys for New Seismic Isolation... more
Metallic dampers are sacrificial devices (fuses) that dissipate significant energy during earthquakes while protecting other parts of structures from possible damage. In addition to numerous implementation opportunities of other base... more
The purpose of this paper is to offer a relative understanding of the seismic performance enhancements that a typical 40-story steel office building can achieve through the implementation of base isolation technology. To reach this... more

Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the seeds of Cichorium intybus L. (Asteraceae) yielded five fatty acid esters characterized as n-hexadecanyl hexadecanoate (1); n-pentadecanyl octadec-9-enoate (2);... more
The objectives of current study were to isolate, purify and characterize bioactive tryptamine derivative from Crataeva nurvala, a well explored traditional Indian medicinal plant with historical evidence of efficacy in the treatment of... more
Unbonded fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators, due to their light weight, low cost and easy installation, are viable devices for seismic mitigation purposes, both for housing and building applications in highly seismic areas, even in... more
For the safety and welfare of the public, industrial facilities and public structures must remain functional at all times. Consequently, they have to remain essentially elastic even after major earthquakes. This could be achieved via... more
The concept of frequency band gaps that has been widely used in many disciplines of physics and semiconductors is extendedto other phenomena such as seismic vibrations. This paper presents the potential of an approach based on periodic... more
