The historical development and practical implementation of structural base isolation systems
that work on the principle of friction are discussed in the light of analytical, numerical, and …

Base isolation systems are widely used as an effective and practical solution to protect the
structure and non-structural elements from seismic hazards. However, the excessive …

Rolling-type base isolation as a means of earthquake protection is over a century old but
has advanced rapidly in recent years due to an increase in research interest. Significant …

Base isolation techniques have emerged as the most effective seismic damage mitigation
strategies. Several types of aseismic devices for base isolation have been invented, studied …

The seismic isolation of ground-supported cylindrical liquid storage tank using the newly
developed oblate spheroid base isolation (OSBI) system is investigated. The OSBI is an …

An isolation system is not very effective when an inappropriate level of damping is used.
This paper proposes a theoretical method which can be used to determine the optimal …

Rolling isolation systems (RISs) have been used extensively to protect bridges, buildings,
and equipment from earthquake-induced ground and floor motions. RISs are attractive in a …

Rolling base isolation system provides effective isolation to the structures from seismic base
excitations by virtue of its low frictional resistance. Herein, dynamic analysis of flexible-shear …

Seismic isolation has become a widely accepted method for the protection of structures and
nonstructural components. However, this control strategy is unfavorable against near‐fault …

Base shear and sloshing response control in ground-supported circular cylindrical liquid
storage tank is achieved by oblate spheroid base isolation (OSBI) system used along with …
