A variable damping semiactive device for control of the seismic response of buildings
(2005)
This dissertation proposes a new semiactive device, composed of two fixedorifice viscous fluid dampers installed in the form of V whose top ends are attached to the upper floor and their lower ends to a point that can move ...
Evaluation of structural damage identification methods based on dynamic characteristics
(2005)
In this thesis, structural damage identification methods based on changes in the dynamic characteristics of the structure are examined and new methodologies are also developed. These are based on the modal curvature matrix, ...
Ground response spectra at surface for Mayagüez considering in-situ soil dynamic properties
(2005)
One dimensional ground response analyses was performed at fifteen sites in Mayagüez
Puerto Rico to study their seismic response for the development of response spectra at the surface. Field experiments using the Spectral ...
