Base isolation has emerged as one of the most effective high-tech strategies for protecting
infrastructure under seismic loading. This review paper discusses the historical development …

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 …

This research deals with the seismic reliability of non‐linear base‐isolated structures
equipped with Lateral Impact Resilient Double Concave Friction Pendulum (LIR‐DCFP) …

This article presents an analytical study of the seismic collapse performance of seismically
isolated buildings and comparable non-isolated buildings. The study is based on …

Complex collision phenomena can occur between the Friction Pendulum System (FPS) and
shear keys under earthquake, potentially resulting in shear keys sheared off. Based on a …

This study proposes seismic reliability-based design relationships in terms of behavior
factors and displacement demands for softening and hardening structures equipped with …

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 …

While isolation can provide significantly enhanced performance compared to fixed‐base
counter parts in design level or even maximum considered level earthquakes, there is still …

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 …

The overturning resistance of structures isolated by double friction pendulum bearing
(DFPB) would be significantly reduced due to the presence of pounding. To this end, an …
