ABSTRACT

Seismic isolation is effected by providing an interface between the foundations of the building and superstructure which may consist of stories above the ground level by inserting devices. Those are meant to reduce the effect of ground motions generated by an earthquake or/ and wind load. In this process, the period of the whole structure including base isolators is elongated so that ground waves containing large energy contents in the horizontal components of the earthquake may be deflected conveniently. An updated state-of-art review of isolation techniques and the design of isolated buildings is presented in this paper. The research findings in the comprehensive form are extracted out of the large volume of research papers published during the last five decades, where only some limited quality papers are selected for the preparation of this manuscript. The review generally covered papers on the analysis and design of structures with base isolation. Review is not confined to buildings with friction pendulum isolators only, but also includes the study of structural response to some other types of base isolators and dampers to seismic attacks.
