Development of adaptive seismic isolators for ultimate seismic protection of civil structures [PDF]

, 2013
Base isolation is the most popular seismic protection technique for civil engineering structures. However, research has revealed that the traditional base isolation system due to its passive nature is vulnerable to two kinds of earthquakes, i.e. the near-

Seismically Isolating a Structure: A Rational Approach for Feasibility Assessment and Definition of Basic Parameters

Eng
Although conceptually simple, the application of seismic isolation can pose dangerous pitfalls. It is based on decoupling the dynamic response of a structure from the ground motion by inserting isolation devices at its base.
