Dear Sir
           First of all I wish to thank you and commend you for organising
the e conf on a relevant subject .
I wish to ask you that what are the methods and new technologies that have
developed during the years on the subject of use of isolators in high rise
building for reducing the vibrations caused by lateral forces acting at
foundation level . Also I wish to know that if there are any methods to
reduce the impact of wind on at higher level on the building other than
designing for the loads.
Sir , also give some study material on the subject.


Thanking you

Puneet

Dear Er Puneet,

An excellent paper on mitigation of motions of tall buildings with specific examples of Recent applications authored by Prof. Kareem et al. of the Univ. Of Notre Dame, published in Wind and structures, Vol. 2, No.3, 1999, pp. 201-251 is available at

http://www.nd.edu/~nathaz/journals/%281999%29Mitigation_of_motions_of_tall_buildings_with_specific_examples_of_recent_applications%28WAS%29.pdf

This paper also has a number of references.

Another recent and notable paper is by Symans et al. Energy Dissipation Systems for seismic applications: Current practice and Recent developments, Journal of Structural Engg., ASCE, Jan. 2008, pp.3-21. This paper also has numerous references.

Er.Sharmapuneetk,

Can you please edit the heading for the post as Sismic Isolators instead of query since it will bear some meaning in the conference.
