This paper presents findings from a comprehensive analytical and experimental study on the
uplift‐restraining XY‐FP sliding isolation system. To investigate the effectiveness of the XY …

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 …

The good performance of seismically isolated structures during the 1995 Kobe earthquake
persuaded structural engineers, isolator manufacturers and housing construction companies …

Base isolation systems have become a significant element of a structural system to enhance
reliability during an earthquake. One type of base isolation system is Friction Pendulum …

The National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER) was established to
expand and disseminate knowledge about earthquakes, improve earthquake-resistant …

A common problem that is encountered in the design of low-rise base-isolated buildings is
the resistance to uplift. Rubber isolators have low tension stiffness and strength and …

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 …

Different modelling aspects of structures isolated using the frictional pendulum system and
subjected to earthquake ground motions are studied herein. Although the vertical dynamics …
