- Protection of in situ structures in seismic-prone environments is paramount for public safety but remains largely unresolved because vibration control technologies require substantial alteration to the original structures. This paper is significant because it introduces a new and non-invasive approach (Vibrating Barrier) that protects structures from ground motion excitation. This technology represents a step-change in earthquake engineering that has underpinned two UKRI grants (EP/K004867/1; AH/R007934/1) and has been applied to models of nuclear power plants and historic structures beyond the UK.
