Seismic isolation is known to effectively mitigate the effects of horizontal ground shaking in building structures. Recent research has suggested that vertical excitation causes high …
An effective isolation system requires a lower stiffness relative to the structure to extend the natural period from the dominant frequency of the external excitations. The basic …
