Base Isolation Compared to Capacity Design for Long Corner Periods and Pulse-Type Seismic Records
Southern Romania is a geographic region with alluvial deposits. This soil type leads to rather long corner periods and provides as a particularity of the response spectrum an enlarged plateau. These conditions produce large displacement demands. Moreover,
