- The dynamic interaction of two or more buildings through the soil medium that occurs during an earthquake event is a well-known phenomenon in seismology. Nevertheless, this interaction has rarely been considered during the seismic design of structures. This article is significant because it exploits this phenomenon to develop for the first time a novel device, hosted in the soil, able to absorb part of the seismic energy to reduce the vibration of neighbouring structures. This approach, verified by numerical analyses and validated experimentally, is a key outcome of EP/K004867/1 and underpinned a successful AHRC grant proposal AH/R007934/1.
