“We cannot predict exact time, place or exact scale, but do believe that there is a regular seismic activity going around in the NCR region and may trigger in a major earthquake in Delhi,” asserted Dr. Kalachand Sain, Chief at Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, an autonomous institute,...
Pounding leads to the amplification in the peak interstorey drift (IDR), residual IDR, floor peak accelerations, shear forces, and impact forces, while the displacements may increase or decrease [23–27]. This amplification is significant in the direction of pounding and in- significant in the ...
A passive energy dissipation system has been widely used in seismic regions to absorb the input energy of earthquake excitations. In addition, a structural seismic control is commonly adopted to change or adjust the dynamic characteristics of the structure by installing special devices (e.g., ...
