Serviceability of buildings is affected by excessive acceleration experienced at the top floors in wind storms that may cause discomfort to the occupants. To ensure functional performance of tall buildings it is important to keep the frequency of objectionable motion levels below the discomfort threshold. This paper addresses a new approach that facilitates mitigation of wind induced motion of ...

Dual-function amplifiers are proposed for the first time herein enhancing capability of a scanning test vehicle bridges. To start, closed-form solutions derived dynamic responses amplifier-vehicle-bridge system with moving vehicle. Then, amplification factors amplifier and presented assessing bridge/vehicle vehicle/amplifier transmissibility. It was known that spectrum may be hindered extractin...
