This paper presents an extensive experimental study of a low-cost, high-performance
seismic isolator comprising a deformable sphere rolling on concrete surfaces. Polyurethane …

This paper describes the behavior of a low-cost seismic isolator comprising a grout-filled
tennis ball rolling on concrete plates. The isolator could be used for isolating lightweight …

Seismic isolation is one of the most effective methods of reducing earthquake-induced
damage to buildings. However, the associated high cost makes this technology non …

Seismic isolation is a well-established method of seismic protection. However, applications
of this technology in low-income countries are limited due to the associated high costs. An …

This paper presents the compressive and lateral cyclic response of low-cost seismic
isolators comprising a deformable sphere rolling on concrete surfaces. The proposed use of …

Seismic isolation is not applied in residential structures in the developing world due to the
associated high cost. The present study shows the preliminary experimental results of a …

This study presents the results of a large-scale experimental investigation of sustainable and
low-cost seismic isolators based on deformable rubber spheres, rolling of concrete surfaces …

This study presents the results of a large-scale experimental investigation of sustainable and
low-cost seismic isolators based on deformable rubber spheres rolling on concrete surfaces …

This paper describes the lateral cyclic response of a low-cost seismic isolator. The system
comprises a grout-filled, reused tennis ball rolling on concrete plates. The isolator could be …
