33rd Annual Study of Logistics and Transportation Trends: Puzzling path forward Logistics professionals navigating their path forward face challenging market conditions, an evolving regulatory ...

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 ...

Isolators had to be analyzed as part of the design for the state’s Emergency Operations Center near Olympia. Owners ranging from public agencies to financial institutions and research facilities have ...

Much of the world's population lives and works in seismically active areas, with little protection from earthquakes. Fortunately, engineers have found that building with rubber is a surprisingly ...

Now in phase three, director of the project Jodie Jones, said this last phase is focused on seismic upgrades that will largely be invisible to visitors once all the construction is complete. While the ...

Structural base isolation—effectively “floating” a building on rubber pads to safely ride out an earthquake—is nothing new in California. But the isolators installed for the structural and ...

The design of modern electronic systems in applications as varied as industrial automation, power supplies for telecom base stations, and on-board chargers (OBC) for electric vehicles (EV) comes with ...
