This paper investigates the implementation of supplemental vibration control systems (VCS) in base isolated (BI) structures, to improve their dynamic performance. More specifically, the aim of the VCS is to reduce the base displacement demand of BI struc...

Practical engineers should gain confidence in base isolation as an alternative to stiffening, a possible design approach for new as well as for existing buildings even under rare seismic conditions (in large corner period areas and for pulse-type seismic...

This paper reports a study on the Intermediate Isolation System (IIS) applied to existing buildings. This kind of application is particularly suitable when a vertical addition is planned for buildings in seismic zones; in such a case, an isolation system...

The seismic response of base-isolated structures is notably influenced by mechanical properties of isolation devices due to their essential role in structural behavior. Consequently, the variability of such properties should be accounted for in the desig...

The behavior of a reinforced concrete building, seismically isolated with high damping rubber bearing (HDRB) and sliding devices (SD), observed during the most important events of the seismic sequence that struck central Italy from August 2016 to January...

A five-story moment frame structural model with a base isolation system was tested on a shaking table. The isolation system comprised both linear natural rubber bearing (LNR) and nonlinear viscous dampers (NLVDs). Seven ground motions were employed: incl...

Base isolation of liquid storage tanks has proven to be an efficient seismic protection measure, leading to a drastic reduction of a superstructure?s distress. However, many such tanks are located near seismic tectonic faults, which generate strong pulse...
