Area: Seismically isolated irregular buildings
Seismic isolation is one of the proven ways of mitigating seismic demand. Several base isolated facilities withstood major earthquakes in the recent past with expected performance. Design of isolation system is often challenged by the structural irregularities including asymmetry, setback, and in-plane floor flexibility, and multi-components of seismic excitation, such vertical, rocking, and torsional. We aim to understand the efficacy of seismic isolation system in buildings with irregularities. Isolation system is restricted to the elastomeric bearings only in this study.
