Seismic response of a one-storey structure with sliding support to bidirectional (i.e. two horizontal components) earthquake ground motion is investigated. Frictional forces, which are mobilized at the sliding support, are assumed to have ideal Coulomb-friction characteristics. Coupling effects due

Numerical simulations of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure, rigidly supporting a tuned liquid damper (TLD) and subjected to both real and arti"cially generated earthquake ground motions, show that a properly designed TLD can signi"cantly reduce the structure's response to these motions. Th
The controlled response of structures in the inelastic domain is presented using the state space theory of optimal linear control. Using the force analogy method, structural inelastic behavior can be expressed in state space form. One-step time delay compensation is incorporated in the derivation. N
This paper presents an accurate algorithm for structural non-stationary random seismic responses. The ground acceleration is assumed to be an evolutionary random process, of which the modulation function is non-uniformly modulated, i.e. it depends on both time and frequency. The method is used to co
A new formulation of the transfer function has been proposed for the seismic analysis of linear, multiply supported secondary systems. The transfer function for a given response quantity has been formulated by directly using the ΓΏxedbase modes of the primary and secondary systems. This approach is e
