JAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, 2012 AbstractThis paper proposes a vertical distribution of seismic design load of seismically isolated buildings corresponding to diversity of seismic isolation devices such as hysteretic dampers and/or velocity‐dependent dampers. This proposed method is obtained from the relationship between response amplification caused by higher‐mode responses and key ...
