Earthquake-Resistant Design with Rubber

Earthquake-Resistant Design with Rubber by James M. Kelly.

My involvement in the use of natural rubber as a method for the protec­ 1976. At that time, tion of buildings against earthquake attack began in I was working on the development of energy-dissipating devices for the same purpose and had developed and tested a device that was even­ tually used in a s...
