Seismic isolation is widely used around the world for the protection of buildings, but its long‐
term behaviour was not considered in detail in past seismic design of isolated structures …

In this paper the seismic response of a multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) building base
isolated by lead rubber bearings (LRBs) is compared with the seismic response of the same …

In the present paper, the dynamic behavior of a rolling isolation device composed of
cylinders moving in between two rubber layers is studied from a theoretical point of view …

The seismic characteristics of a five-storey benchmark model isolated with rubber bearings
have been studied using a shake table. Experimental modal analyses using impact …

Abstract High Damping Rubber Bearings (HDRBs) are among various types of laterally
flexible isolation system elements that effectively protect structures from detrimental effects of …

Lead-rubber isolators represent a valid and economic solution for the seismic isolation of
bridge structures and modern manufacturing techniques make available large devices …

Various base isolation systems (BISs) such as the pure-friction, laminated rubber bearing,
lead rubber bearing, resilient-friction base isolator and electricité de France systems, which …

In the past decade, base isolation technology has been widely adopted for protection of
structures in earthquake-prone areas of Europe and of Italy in particular. Due do the …
