Abstract
This book examines seismic isolation systems used to reduce earthquake-induced demands on civil engineering structures. It introduces the mechanics of base isolation, structural response, displacement requirements and energy dissipation. The devices discussed include high-damping rubber bearings, lead-rubber bearings, friction-pendulum systems, fibre-reinforced elastomeric isolators and hybrid sliding arrangements. Applications cover buildings, bridges, storage tanks, pipelines and sensitive equipment. The volume also addresses design standards, device qualification, manufacturing, installation, inspection and ageing. A source-based numerical study of a three-storey building compares isolated and fixed-base responses, while identifying limitations in the original data and the verification needed for engineering application in actual projects.
