The performance of a well-designed layer of sand, geo-grid, geo-textiles and composites like layer of sand mixed with shredded tyre (rubber) as low-cost base isolators is studied in shake table tests ...
NZ researchers say that waste tires could be reused as seismic isolation for medium-rise buildings. As in most nations formed near fault lines, earthquakes are seen as a part of life in New Zealand, ...
PORTLAND, Ore. — We've seen the images of destruction following a major earthquake. These images often include crumbled and collapsed buildings right alongside structures that look almost untouched.
“For seismic activity, earthquake maps guide building practices and in some instances may identify areas subject to soil liquefaction which are unsuitable for building. To mitigate seismic damage, ...
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 ...

Buildings left standing in Turkey offer design guidance for future earthquake-resilient construction
Osman Ozbulut receives funding from NSF. The Feb. 6, 2023, earthquakes in Turkey and Syria damaged over 100,000 buildings, caused more than 10,000 collapses and killed more than 50,000 people. These ...
