This paper investigates the seismic performance of two adjacent buildings connected by viscous dampers. Three types damper placement are discussed, including installing dampers within a single building, connecting at same floor level, and inter-story level. Analytical models established to consider various dynamic properties buildings, theoretical solutions obtained, transmissibility curves, ad...

C onstruction is of prime economic significance to many industry sectors. Intense competition, shortages of skilled labor, and technological advances are forcing rapid change in the construction industry, thus motivating construction automation [1]. Earthmoving machines, such as bulldozers, wheel loaders, excavators, scrapers, and graders, are common in construction. Excavationbased operations ...

Abstract With the degree of urban underground space developing in China, scale and excavation depth foundation pit is much larger, surrounding environment also more complex. Therefore, five cases design complex have been studied this paper. Then combined with local engineering experience, a scheme adjacent to important facilities which suitable for Qianjiang New Town has summarized. Finally, ba...
