E ectiveness of a new semiactive independently variable sti ness (SAIVS) device in reducing seismic response of sliding base isolated buildings is evaluated analytically and experimentally. Through analytical and experimental study of force—displacement behaviour of the SAIVS device, it is shown that the device can vary sti ness continuously and smoothly between minimum and maximum sti ness. Pa...

The past earthquake study conducted on the foundation system (soil and foundation) reveals that the interaction of soil and foundation plays a major role in the response of superstructure. In this regard a literature survey has been carried out on frame structures supported on pile foundation which is in contact with more soil mass as compared to the other type of foundation system. In this res...

We discuss the new layout of a cavity chain (superstructure) allowing, we hope, significant cost reduction of the RF system of both linacs of the TESLA linear collider. The proposed scheme increases the fill factor and thus makes an effective gradient of an accelerator higher. We present mainly computations we have performed up to now and which encouraged us to order the copper model of the sch...
