Design Aspects in Seismic Isolation: Application to Retrofit Churches
International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 2008The severe damage to masonry buildings after earthquakes has pointed out the need of studying new seismic protection techniques in order to guarantee appropriate safety levels against earthquakes. In historical buildings, such as basilica churches, a seismic rehabilitation should have also a minimum impact on the construction, preserving the original ...

Design and manufacturing of fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator for seismic isolation
Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2002Abstract In this paper an experimental analysis is presented for the mechanical characteristics of multi-layer elastomeric isolation bearings where the reinforcing element—normally steel plates—are replaced by a fiber reinforcement. The fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator (FREI), in contrast to the steel reinforced elastomeric isolator (SREI) which

Risk-targeted design of seismically isolated buildings
Journal of Building Engineering, 2022Abstract Seismic isolation has been used to improve the seismic performance of buildings for the last decades. However, it has been shown that the code-based displacement capacity of isolation members does not provide adequate collapse probabilities for different Risk Categories of ASCE 7–16.

Design of Metamaterials for Seismic Isolation
This study assesses the implementation of locally resonant metamaterials in seismic isolation applications, by investigating their potential feasibility in low frequency bands. To this end, via adoption of both Blochs Theorem and classical vibration analysis, both one-dimensional and two-dimensional mass-in-mass lattices are analyzed in overlapping ...P.-R. Wagner +3 more

Design experience on seismically isolated buildings
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1991Abstract This paper describes the practical problems associated with the structural design of a group of seismically isolated buildings now under construction in Ancona, Italy. These structures are the first seismically isolated buildings in Italy. The Ancona region is in zone 2 of the Italian Seismic Code. It has a design acceleration of 0.07 g

Seismic Isolation Design Code for Highway Bridges
Seismic Engineering, Volume 2, 2002This paper presents the seismic isolation design code for highway bridges. This is based on the 1996 Design Specifications for Highway Bridges, Part. V: Seismic Design, issued by the Japan Road Association in December 1996. This paper focuses on the outlines of the seismic isolation design code including the seismic design basic principles, design ...

Seismic Isolation for Earthquake-Resistant Design
1997The idea that buildings can be protected from the damaging effects of earthquakes by using some type of support that uncouples it from the ground is an appealing one, and many mechanisms have been invented over the past century to produce this result.
