Nonlinear response history analyses (NRHA) of a 3-story isolated reinforced concrete (RC) building are carried out under both uni- and bi-directional earthquake excitations of near-field records. NRHA are conducted for a wide range of yield strength (Q/W) of lead rubber bearings (LRB), and isolation period (T). Selected near-field records are used to investigate both the contribution of orthogonal components on maximum isolator displacements and accuracy of equivalent lateral force (ELF) procedure on estimation of maximum isolator displacements. Analyses results show that both the contribution of orthogonal components and accuracy of ELF procedure depend on the soil condition where isolation system is implemented.

Numerical Simulation of three Base Isolation Systems for Earthquake Protection of Structures
Dölen, Melik (null; 2003-10-10)
In a previous paper [1&2] a base isolation system was proposed for earthquake protection of structures. The system incorporates spherical supports for the base, a specially designed spring-cam system to keep the base rigidly supported under normal conditions and to allow it to move for the duration of the earthquake under the constraint of a spring with optimized stiffness characteristics. A high-rise structure was considered to investigate the feasibility of the concept. The simulation of the system respon...
Comparative study of base isolated systems
Türkmen, Fatih; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2002)
This thesis is mainly concerned with providing brief knowledge about the effects of earthquakes on buildings and their response to earthquake forces. Principles of advanced passive earthquake resistant design techniques are also presented. Next, the use of the most common passive earthquake resistant design technique; i.e., base isolation is described, with its historical background, main principles and usage in the world. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of base isolation, and the performance of base...
Seismic response of base isolated liquid storage tanks to real and simulated near fault pulse type ground motions
Uçkan, Muhittin Eren; Umut, Onder; Sisman, Fatma Nurten; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2018-09-01)
In this paper, the seismic response of base-isolated liquid storage tanks subjected to real and simulated near-fault ground motions is investigated. It is assumed that the tanks are seismically isolated by single surface Concave Sliding Bearings (CSB) with different isolation periods. For the input data, the recorded and simulated ground motions having pulse type characters and their dominant waveforms are considered.
Equivalent linear analysis of seismic-isolated bridges subjected to near-fault ground motions with forward rupture directivity effect
Dicleli, Murat (2007-01-01)
This study encompasses the assessment of the equivalent linear (EL) analysis procedure for the design of seismic isolated bridges (SIB) subjected to near-fault ground motions with forward rupture directivity effect. The assessment procedure involves the comparison of the seismic response quantities obtained from EL analyses with those obtained from nonlinear time history (NLTH) analyses. The effect of several isolator and near-fault ground motion properties are considered in the assessment of the EL analysi...
Dynamic simulation of shaking table tests for a shearwall building having torsion
Nazırzadeh, Saeıdeh; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Simulating the non-linear response of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings subjected to a sequence of input earthquake records, is an extremely complex concern in the field of the Earthquake Engineering. Buildings with no symmetry in plan have much more complicated behavior under earthquake effects than symmetric buildings. Torsional irregularity in plan is the main topic of many current researches. In previous decades, considerable amount of numerical and experimental studies have been conducted, but more re...
