Bruneau, who is also a distinguished member of ASCE—the highest honor the society can bestow—was recognized for “his contributions to advancing seismic design and improving the safety and resilience ...

According to the university release, the project's aim is to "revolutionize the design of particle dampers using topology ...

The study of seismic isolation systems has markedly advanced in recent decades, offering innovative pathways to shield structures and sensitive equipment from earthquake-induced forces. At its core, ...

As one of the major projects in the first series of NEES research (NEESR) funded by the National Science Foundation, our study is addressing two important aspects of bridge seismic response, both ...

Code-based earthquake engineering is on the verge of getting simpler, thanks to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program’s recommendation to replace the traditional seismic hazard maps with ...

Researchers have developed a novel negative-stiffness isolation device that offers a pioneering solution for seismic protection. The device, designed to provide multidirectional negative stiffness and ...

Engineers designing the Giant Magellan Telescope celebrated the feat of having their innovative seismic protection design validated by an independent review panel. This group of experts in seismic ...

Resilience is the ability to bounce back after a disturbance or interruption, or the capacity to withstand, recover from, or adapt to stress, misfortune, or change. By now, design teams are at least ...

This Design Idea describes a real-time seismic alert system, which acquires seismic alert data from the European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) public web page using the “Data Socket ...
