Structures constructed in developing world are typically RC frames with masonry infill. These structures have little resistance for lateral loads caused by earthquake and wind. Even for  adequately designed structures also, due to permissible deforma... see more

This paper presents a half-car model (4-degrees-of-freedom) employing nonlinear passlve sequential damper. The vibration isolation and transmrssibility effect on the vehicle's centre ofgravity (C.G.) has been studied. The results have been compared for tr... see more

Relative wavelet energy entropy (RWEE) is proposed to detect and quantify damage to hysteretic dampers used for the passive seismic control of building structures. Hysteretic dampers have the role of dissipating most of the energy input of an earthquake. ... see more

This paper presents a methodology to improve installation of friction dampers in civil structures. The proposed methodology involves a metaheuristic optimization  technique called Firefly Algorithm linked with a computational routine based in the Fin... see more

Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a taut-moored compliant offshore platform that deploys tethers under high initial pretension to counteract the excess buoyancy. TLPs show large amplitude responses under the encountered lateral forces, which challenges the se... see more

Structural control system aims to improve the protection of buildings and civil structures, occupants and contents from the destructive forces of nature due to earthquakes, wind and waves. Control techniques can be classified according to how the system m... see more

The wind turbine is supported by towers, which are slender and flexible due to their geometry and great height. As a consequence, they may experience excessive vibration levels caused by both the operation of the turbine and the wind loads. One common pas... see more

This experimental study aims to investigate and analyze the performance of a Water-Air Heat Exchanger that functions as passive cooling in a building ventilation system in the tropics. Before being blown into the room, the high-temperature outdoor air wil... see more

Lexical bundles studies are still limited in relation to the use of verb phrase-based bundles, specifically the passive forms in academic writing. This study reveals the lexico-grammatical patterns and functional categories of passive verb bundles in the ... see more
