In this paper, the evolution in design and implementation of base isolation systems (BIS) is
traced by a worldwide reconnaissance review of case studies in the last 30 years. Changes …

This manuscript reviews seismic isolation and response control methods of buildings, which
are able to make buildings resilient against earthquakes and have become popular during …

This paper deals with the evolution of base isolation design in Italy, underlining
improvements that occurred in the last 30 years, from earliest pioneering cases to recent …

Intermediate isolation system (IIS) is currently spreading and gaining significant popularity,
mainly in Japan. However, its potentials are not so well-known in European countries, and in …

This research work is related to the evaluations of some modelling assumptions of the stick–
slip phase of the Friction Pendulum™ System (FPS) on the seismic response of base …

Performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-laminated rubber isolators has been
investigated through theoretical and experimental analyses. Effective horizontal stiffness of …

The seismic isolation mechanism of the core‐suspended isolation (CSI) system comprises a
double layer of inclined rubber bearings installed on top of a reinforced core structure. A …

In this research we conducted a sensitivity experimental study where we explored the
dependency of the shear strain on the seismic properties of bearings, namely lead rubber …

Introduction of flexible elements at the base of a structure and at the same time ensuring
enough damping is probably the best option for the seismic isolation technique. The device …

Structural design of tall buildings is based on elastic analysis under gravity and wind actions
and is traditionally aimed at minimizing structural material consumption while achieving the …
