“…The idea of seismic isolation is rather simple: reduction of the earthquakeinduced inertial loads by shifting the fundamental frequency of the structure out of the dangerous-for-resonance range, Komodromos [2], and concentration of deformation and energy dissipation demands at the isolation system; seismic isolation reduces the inter-storey displacements and floor accelerations of the structure under strong seismic motion. The superstructure remains essentially undeformed, moving like a rigid body, which prevents damage to its structural and non-structural components; see fig.…”

“…Seismic isolation is widely considered as an efficient earthquake-resistant design technology to improve the seismic performance of structures (Skinner et al, 1993;Naeim and Kelly, 1999;Komodromos, 2000). Although base isolation decreases the possibility of damage to a building, it induces large relative displacements at the isolation level due to the increased flexibility.…”

“…Thesis, entitled 'Application of Seismic Isolation as a Performance-Based Earthquake-Resistant Design Method', and later published by the WIT Press [1]. This paper presents two special issues of the seismic response of base-isolated buildings that are investigated independently using custom-made software that utilizes advances in software engineering.…”

“…1a are elastomeric bearings in which one or more lead plugs are vertically inserted in order to provide a high initial stiffness and an additional hysteretic energy dissipation mechanism. The elastomeric rubber ensures the necessary restoring force to prevent permanent relative displacements at the isolation level, whereas the lead plug dissipates energy hysteretically during severe earthquakes, as it is forced by the steel plates to deform inelastically in shear after exceeding its yield stress [1].…”
