TL;DR: In this paper, a 2.5D analysis is presented of the vibration reduction of buildings alongside the railway by open or infilled trenches, assuming the soil-structure system to be uniform along the railway direction.

TL;DR: In this paper, three types of four full-scale single story and two-bay Chuan-Dou type timber frames were tested under low-cycle reversed cyclic loading and the ultimate load carrying capacity, stiffness, energy dissipation, deformation and damage characteristics were investigated.

TL;DR: The parametric study confirms that the contact response outperforms vehicle’s response in retrieving bridge frequencies and damping ratios, and the first few frequencies can be identified with robustness for reasonable levels of road roughness, vehicle speed, bridge damping and noise.

TL;DR: In this paper, the seismic behavior of steel and concrete composite shear walls with embedded steel truss, a crucial structural element for use in high-rise buildings, was studied, including the damage formation, failure mode, hysteretic curve, stiffness and strength degradation, energy dissipation and ductility.

TL;DR: In this paper, a realistic theory is proposed considering the damping effect of the test vehicle, which was not well studied previously, and closed-form solutions are firstly derived for both the vehicle and contact point responses, with their transmissibility discussed.
