A systematic review of hybrid seismic control strategy

Abstract

There are numerous examples where combinations of seismic isolation and energy dispassion technology is employed in the real world. However, seldom articles has been found to  provide a systematic review on this application area. This article will first give some real-world cases showing the hybrid seismic method used in the structures, especially in the seismic isolation structure. Then, the introducing of base isolation combined with TMD and other energy dissipation techniques will be reviewed. Finally, some new research areas will be given. Mainly it will be related to the study of TMD and BRBs in the base isolated structure and the application of TMD in a complex structure named twin-tower shear-wall base isolated structures with an enlarged basement.
