Sliding isolation systems have found applications for earthquake resistant design of
buildings and highway bridges. In practice, uplift restraints are generally incorporated with …

A structure incorporating the mechanism of sliding, as used in seismic isolation, along with
the mechanism of uplift, but at a different elevation, is proposed to study the possible …

Seismic response of bridges with sliding isolation system between superstructure and
substructure is investigated. Factional force of the isolation system is assumed to have ideal …

An experimental study, performed to evaluate the feasibility of using a sliding isolation
system with uplift restraint devices for medium-rise buildings subject to column uplift, is …

Sliding isolation systems for bridges | In. US National Center for Earthquake Engineering
Research (NCEER). Proceedings from the first US Japan Workshop on Earthquake Protective …

An experimental study of a seismically isolated and a comparable nonisolated bridge is
presented. The bridge model featured flexible and stiff piers and, in certain cases, different …

Notwithstanding its pervasive influence on seismic-resistant engineering, the efficacy of
seismic isolation in structures subjected to strong ground excitation, including near-fault …

Base isolation techniques have emerged as the most effective seismic damage mitigation
strategies. Several types of aseismic devices for base isolation have been invented, studied …

This paper extends the scope of seismic isolation by introducing an innovative uplift‐
restraining Friction Pendulum system. Termed the XY‐FP isolator, the new isolation device …

A displacement-control and uplift-restraint device that can be installed within multilayer,
elastomeric base-isolation bearings is described. The device acts to limit the displacement …
