Base isolation is a low-damage seismic design strategy that can be used for constructing
resilient structures. Geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) is a new category of emerging base …

Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) is defined as a category of seismic isolation techniques
that are in direct contact with geomaterials and of which the isolation mechanism primarily …

Traditional construction practices consume significant energy, emit carbon, and generate
waste—prompting a shift towards sustainable earthquake-resistant systems. Nonetheless, a …

Huge stockpiles of End-of-Life Tires (ELTs) are of major global concern. This paper
investigates and helps to demonstrate the beneficial utilization of ELTs to provide …

Geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) is a new category of low-damage resilient design
methods that are in direct contact with geomaterials and of which the isolation mechanism …

Increasing stockpile of scrap rubber tires imposes a serious threat to the safety of
surrounding ecological environment. Rubber particle of excellent thermal insulating …

Seismic isolation aims to prevent the direct transmission of seismic wave energy to the main
resistant structure. Typically, this is achieved by using a flexible support system that isolates …

This paper presents the results of a study on the relevance of seismic isolation systems for
protecting architectural monuments from seismic and vibration impacts. This work aims to …

Low-income regions do not have the economic strength to use conventional isolators;
therefore, low-cost alternatives are needed. The recent series of earthquakes in Turkey has …

A practical and cost-effective approach to reinforcing soil and suppressing wave
propagation involves the use of smooth geosynthetic liners as seismic isolators. This study …
