The concept was investigated in precast walls nearly a decade ago through the NSF PREcast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) program, but the implementation of the ... of different energy dissipation ...

As one of the major projects in the first series of NEES research (NEESR) funded by the National Science Foundation, our study is addressing two important aspects of bridge seismic response, both ...

Leveraging inexpensive materials like sand "makes the device a cost-effective alternative to traditional seismic systems. Besides, the damper's design is straightforward and suitable for both new ...
