In Turkey, seismic base isolation have become mainly used passive earthquake control system especially among hospital structures after the amendment of Ministry of Health in 2014, regulating the design of hospitals in high seismic zones. Rubber and sliding type of isolators have been applied, and several different hysteresis models, which are essentially acceptable in seismic codes, were used in their design process. However, due to the complexity in the development of highly nonlinear models, engineers tend to use more practical ones such as smoothed or sharp bilinear models. Literature and experience have shown that differences in hysteresis characteristics may lead to variance in performance parameters resulting in possible overdesign or underdesign. In this thesis, to assess the effect of the modeling approach on seismic performance, for a selected hospital building, high damping rubber bearing, and friction pendulum-type isolators were designed according to Turkish Building Seismic Code and evaluated in terms of structural performance. For both designs, commonly used bilinear and highly nonlinear isolator hysteresis models from the literature were adopted, and structural models were created for 2475 vi years, and 475 years return period seismic ground motions. Three-dimensional nonlinear time history analyses were conducted on the building model under a set of 11 ground motions. For each model, structural performance is evaluated and compared in terms of (i) maximum isolator displacements, (ii) base shear reactions, (iii) story accelerations, (iv) inter-story drifts, (v) isolator hysteretic response and (vi) uplift behavior conforming the international code limitations. The results show that when bilinear models are used instead of more accurate nonlinear models, there is a significant variation in the superstructural response, especially for sharply bilinear models.

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...
Dynamic analyses of isolated structures under bi-directional excitations of near-field ground motions
Ozdemir, Gokhan; Akyüz, Uğurhan (2012-01-01)
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 estima...
Seismic strengthening of RC structures with exterior shear walls
KAPLAN, HASAN; Yilmaz, Salih; Cetinkaya, Nihat; Atimtay, Ergin (2011-02-01)
Vulnerable buildings and their rehabilitation are important problems for earthquake regions. In recent decades the goal of building rehabilitation and strengthening has gained research attention and numerous techniques have been developed to achieve this. However, most of these strengthening techniques disturb the occupants, who must vacate the building during renovation. In this study, a new strengthening alternative for RC structures, namely exterior shear walls, has been experimentally investigated under...
Seismic Response Analysis and Optimum Design Of A Concave Ball Support İsolated System for A Three Story Concrete Structure
Kaplan, Halit; Dölen, Melik (2003-10-10)
This paper investigates the seismic response and optimum design of a base isolation system 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 single degree of freedom structure was considered to investigate the feasibility of the c...
Shake table tests of different seismic isolation systems on a large scale structure subjected to low to moderate earthquakes
Shahan, Nefize; Caner, Alp (2018-12-01)
Seismic isolation systems designed for extreme events may likely experience low to moderate earthquakes during the design life of the structure rather than the extreme event itself. In new seismic building design codes, low and moderate earthquakes are also mandatory to be investigated in Turkey and some other countries. One of the main reasons is to protect the integrity of non-structural elements or machines during these types of earthquakes. The selection of appropriate seismic isolation is typically dec...
