Base Isolation: Linear Theory and Design

摘要: Abstract The idea that a building can be uncoupled from the damaging effects of ground movement produced by strong earthquake has appealed to inventors and engineers for more than century. Many ingenious devices have been proposed achieve this result, but very few implemented concept now referred as base isolation or seismic yet generally accepted engineering profession. Although most systems are unacceptably complicated, in recent years practical developed implemented. While some these tested on large‐scale shaking tables, none date as‐built earth tremor. shake table testing related static full‐scale components such bearings, however, led certain degree acceptance profession it is possible number implementations will increase quite dramatically next f...
