A three dimensional seismic isolation system was developed and experimentally validated for high-voltage electric power transformers of weight in the range of 300 to 800kip. Although the validation ...

Researchers have developed a novel negative-stiffness isolation device that offers a pioneering solution for seismic protection. The device, designed to provide multidirectional negative stiffness and ...

The study of seismic isolation systems has markedly advanced in recent decades, offering innovative pathways to shield structures and sensitive equipment from earthquake-induced forces. At its core, ...

Seismic isolation has emerged as a pivotal strategy in mitigating earthquake-induced damage by decoupling structures from ground motions. Recent advancements encompass both experimental and numerical ...

A new study reveals that an earthquake early warning system, similar to the USGS ShakeAlert used in California, Oregon, and Washington, could give Alaskan communities precious seconds to prepare ...
