State of the Art of Seismic Protection Technologies for Non-Engineered Buildings (N-EBs) in Developing Regions of the World

Simone Galano et al.

Summary: On a global scale, most earthquake casualties are caused by the collapse of non-engineered buildings (N-EBs) in developing countries. This is due to the unfortunate combination of high population densities, lack of resources, corruption, and a lack of seismic design and construction knowledge in these regions. Extensive research has been dedicated to introducing low-cost seismic protection strategies that can be implemented on a large scale in developing countries. This paper provides an overview of state-of-the-art technologies in this field, aiming to expand the range of applicability of each system and contribute to its development.

Classification and unified phenomenological modeling of complex uniaxial rate-independent hysteretic responses

Nicola Vaiana et al.

Summary: The study aims to propose a unified approach to modeling rate-independent hysteretic behavior. A detailed classification of complex hysteresis loops is performed, and a novel hysteretic model with closed form expressions for evaluating the output variable is formulated. The model offers computational efficiency and ease of implementation, and allows for an uncoupled modeling of the generic loading and unloading phases.

Seismic fragility models for base-isolated unreinforced masonry buildings with fibre-reinforced elastomeric isolators

Daniele Losanno et al.

Summary: Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are highly vulnerable to seismic ground motion, but the use of fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) can significantly improve their seismic performance. This study analyzed the seismic fragility of both fixed-base and base-isolated URM buildings and found that FREIs can effectively reduce the damage probability of URM buildings. These findings contribute to the development of low-cost isolators for URM buildings in developing countries.

Experimental Parametric Study and Phenomenological Modeling of a Deformable Rolling Seismic Isolator

Antonios A. Katsamakas et al.

Summary: This paper presents a study on a low-cost, high-performance seismic isolator which consists of a deformable sphere rolling on concrete surfaces. The study investigates polyurethane spheres with and without a steel core, rolling on flat or spherical concrete plates. The lateral cyclic tests showed a rolling friction coefficient between 3.7% and 7.1%. When tested in a shake table under 1170 ground motions, the isolators effectively reduced the transmitted acceleration to the superstructure to less than 0.15 g while maintaining reasonable peak and negligible residual displacements. A phenomenological model calibrated on the lateral cyclic tests accurately predicted the shake table tests.

Inter-story seismic isolation for high-rise buildings

Davide Forcellini et al.

Summary: This paper studies inter-story seismic isolation in a 20-floor building, examining different configurations with isolation layers at various heights. The performances of each model are evaluated based on shear forces, accelerations, and drifts, demonstrating the potential of inter-story isolation as a means of base isolation.

Frictional Behavior of Low-Cost Steel-Polymer Interfaces for Seismic Isolation

Armando Messina et al.

Summary: This paper presents the results of an experimental program comparing the frictional behavior of different polymers sliding on galvanized steel. It shows that polyethylenes sliding on galvanized steel have similar coefficients of friction to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sliding on stainless steel, with less wear but a more pronounced stick-slip effect.

Simone Galano et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the effects of a simple modification on the lateral response of Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators (FREIs) and confirms through experimental tests and finite element analyses that the modified bearings have desirable hardening response and stability range, allowing them to achieve the desired behavior under large horizontal displacements without instability.

Experimental testing of full-scale fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) in unbounded configuration

D. Losanno et al.

Summary: This study investigated the performance of fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators and found them to be more effective in certain aspects compared to traditional steel reinforced elastomeric isolators, with higher damping capacity. The study also revealed the mechanical behavior of FREIs under different loading conditions and significant rollover phenomenon under lateral loading.

Characterization of the Frictional Behavior of Steel-Polymer Interfaces with Pronounced Stick-Slip Effect for Use in Seismic Isolation

Armando Messina et al.

Summary: The frictional behavior of alternative polymers, such as polyethylenes, in seismic isolation applications is not well understood. Some of these polymers may exhibit a pronounced stick-slip effect, but limited research has been conducted on this aspect. Furthermore, the testing conditions for obtaining reliable data about the frictional behavior of these steel-polymer interfaces are not well established. This study presents experimental results characterizing the frictional behavior of three polyethylenes sliding on hot-dipped galvanized steel, providing insights for improved modeling and testing procedures for other steel-polymer interfaces in seismic isolation.

Experimental evaluation of extra-stroke displacement capacity for Curved Surface Slider devices

Marco Furinghetti et al.

Summary: Curved Surface Slider devices are commonly used for reducing seismic vulnerability, but recent studies show that base isolated systems may have higher seismic risk compared to fixed-base systems. This unexpected outcome is partly attributed to the stricter collapse condition traditionally adopted for base isolated structures.

Feasibility Study on Re-Using Tennis Balls as Seismic Isolation Bearings

Antonios A. Katsamakas et al.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental study of a low-cost seismic isolator using used tennis spheres filled with mortar, which can be used for the protection of residential structures in low-income countries. The isolator's restoring force mainly comes from the curvature of the concrete surface, and it remains undamaged even under 8 kN of compressive force.
