This work investigates the efficiency of tuned inerter dampers (TIDs) in controlling seismic response two adjacent buildings and pounding distance between them. Pervious research on this subject has shown that installing TIDs every floor one coupling each with additional inerters (CS1) provides best control performance. Some potential drawbacks solution are large number devices used practical d...

Abstract Seismic-induced pounding between adjacent buildings may have serious consequences, ranging from minor damage up to total collapse. Therefore, researchers try mitigate the problem using different methods, such as coupling with stiff beams, connecting them viscoelastic links, and installing damping devices in each building individually. In current paper, effect of linear nonlinear fluid ...

Viaducts with roller bearings are subject to large displacement, which could lead the collapse of deck during earthquakes. This study attempts prevent displacements by installing steel stoppers at both sides bearings. The efficiency viscous damper stiffness on seismic performance curved viaducts combined use a spatial multipoint is evaluated. pounding phenomena exactly simulated, considering en...
