Unlike traditional TMDs with sliding motion, the mass element of the new type of TMD proposed in this study is rolling without sliding motion (denoted by RTMD). This motion increases the inertial component, thereby increasing the kinetic energy of RTMDs compared to traditional TMDs. As a result, RTMDs will have a different impact on the dynamic responses of the main structure than TMDs. First, the RTMD's stiffness and damping parameters are optimized as a passive control problem to minimize the peak relative displacement of the main structure. Then, RTMD thoroughly investigated its performance as an active control problem by adding a control force calculated from the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). A TMD with a mass equivalent to the RTMD is also investigated for comparison. The simulation results show that the RTMD is significantly more effective in reducing vibrations than the TMD in the nominal case of the main structure and different cases of main structure stiffness changes, as well as in the case of the structure–damping device system being subjected to different earthquake loads. In addition, in the case of active control, RTMD shows the above advantages and consumes less control power than TMD. These results demonstrated the robustness, stability, and performance of RTMD compared to classical TMDs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 109376"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Αfter a major seismic event followed by various subsequent aftershocks have taken place, the examined structure must be inspected immediately to identify potential damage. We consider the case where the examined structure has significant damage, but after the seismic vibrations have reached a quiet state. In order to identify the damage of the structure, we can use the \"<em>M</em> and <em>P</em>″ technique, since the performing of a nonlinear time history analysis is impractical due to a lack of sufficient information regarding the seismic ground excitations and the current state of the structure. A key component of the approach lies in plotting the dual frame's eigenfrequencies for each analysis step (where linear behavior is assumed) within the inelastic domain, against seismic roof displacement. The fundamental eigenfrequency of the examined dual RC frame, derived during the monitoring phase due to ambient causes, is utilized in this representation to determine the corresponding inelastic roof displacement, which indicates the damage state of the frame. This displacement serves as the target for pushover analysis, facilitating the accurate evaluation of the location and severity of seismic damage. The methodology is applied to a six-story RC frame with a dual structural system, showcasing its practical implementation with valided results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 109344"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143654718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More than 100 coherency loss models have been proposed, but they exhibit significant variations, even for sites with similar conditions. Owing to the absence of a systematic study on the coherency loss ranges in current practice, the coherency loss models are rather arbitrarily selected in both research and seismic design, which may lead to inaccurate structural response predictions. This study conducted statistical analyses of available coherency loss models corresponding to three different site categories from open literature. The mean and standard deviation (STD) of lagged coherency loss functions are derived, providing a range of possible variations of coherency loss and a reference for the selection of a coherency loss for modeling SVEGM. The results are further used to derive dimensionless coherency loss effect modification coefficients as a function of structural vibration frequency, separation distance, and spatial ground motion time lag for structural response prediction. With this, the structural responses considering SVEGM can be straightforwardly obtained by multiplying the conveniently obtainable structural responses, which account for the wave passage effect only, with the corresponding modification coefficients, thus greatly reducing the calculation complexity. Analysis of application examples demonstrated that using the proposed modification functions generally improves the accuracy of structural response predictions considering SVEGM.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 109377"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143654719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to address both of the difficulties, a set of 1-g physical model tests have been conducted to examine the behavior of a single geopolymer-stabilized soil column (GPSC) as a DSM column in soft soil ground treatment under static and cyclic loading.
