Seismic Mitigation and Isolation of Engineering Structures: Analysis, Monitoring and Assessment

Description

Engineering structures such as buildings, bridges, pipelines, wind turbines, and platforms may suffer devastating damage or even failure when they are subjected to severe earthquakes. Seismic mitigation and isolation techniques have been widely employed to protect engineering structures from damage or failure.

Many novel types of isolators (e.g., rubber bearing, high damping bearing, lead rubber bearing, friction pendulum bearing and the novel isolation solutions integrated with smart materials (e.g., shape memory alloy, SMA)) and seismic mitigation measures (e.g., inerter-based damper, meta-based techniques) have been developed, and extensive research efforts have been made to analyze and monitor the behaviours and assess the performance of seismically mitigated and isolated engineering structures.

This Special Issue aims at presenting the latest advances in analyzing and monitoring the behaviours of seismically mitigated and isolated engineering structures and investigating mathematical problems involved in these structures. Submitted articles should clearly show their original contributions and innovative applications covering but not limited to any topics in analyzing and monitoring the seismically mitigated and isolated engineering structures. Original research and review articles are welcome.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Advances in seismic mitigation and isolation technology
  • Mathematical problems in seismic mitigation and isolation structures
  • Behaviours of isolation structures to near-fault ground motions
  • SHM system of isolation structures
  • Long-term performance monitoring of isolation structures
  • Novel measures for seismic mitigation and isolation
  • Resilience assessment and design methods of isolation structures
  • Vibration control and mitigation of isolation structures
  • Seismic fragility of isolation structures
  • Rapid retrofit and strengthening technologies
  • Rapid post-disaster condition assessment
