Design and analysis of seismically isolated structures
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1991Abstract This paper describes developing methodology for performing three-dimensional (3D) analysis of individual seismic bearings and for simulating the 3D system response of isolated reactor structures (superstructure, isolators, basemats, etc.) including the surrounding soil under earthquake excitation. In addition, programs for elastomer research

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.

Fiber‐reinforced nanocomposite seismic isolators: Design and manufacturing
Polymer Composites, 2009AbstractFiber‐reinforced elastomeric isolator (FREI) is a new generation of seismic isolation device in which steel plates are replaced by fiber reinforcement. The essential characteristic of the elastomeric isolator is a very large ratio of the vertical to horizontal stiffness.

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

Seismic Design for Base-Isolated LNG-Storage-Tanks
Structural Engineering International, 2001The efficiency of seismic base isolation by High Damping Rubber Bearings (HDRB’s) is based on the capability of large elastic deformations of the bearings as well as on the dissipation of energy by...

Direct displacement-based design of seismically isolated bridges
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2008A Displacement-Based Design (DBD) procedure for bridges equipped with different seismic Isolation Systems (IS’s) is proposed. It has been derived from the Direct DBD method recently developed by Priestley and co-workers. The key aspect of the proposed procedure is the definition of a uniform target displacement of the deck, which is assigned by the ...

Seismic Isolation Design for Achieving Post-Earthquake Functionality
IABSE Congress Reports, 2023<p>Functionality is an important consideration while designing critical buildings, bridges, and industrial structures in earthquake prone regions of the world. This is necessary for minimizing post- earthquake disruption to society. Major earthquakes that have occurred every year in the world are a constant reminder that critical structures must ...

Seismic resistant design of base isolated multistorey structures
1989The Base Isolation technique and its benefits in reducing the transmitted earthquake energy into a structure has gained increasing recognition during the last two decades. This recognition is indicated by the application of Base Isolation systems to a large number of bridges, several multistorey buildings and some power plants in countries which have ...
