Limitations of height-to-width ratio for base-isolated buildings under earthquake

Abstract: The limitation of height-to-width ratio (HWR) for a base-isolated building with elastomeric rubber bearings is of considerable concern to structural design engineers. Guidelines and codes on this type of building have to deal with this issue. Nevertheless, until now, no systematical and quantitative studies have been done on this problem for base-isolated buildings. For this reason, the main objective of this paper is to focus on investigations on the limit of the HWR for the isolated building with rubber bear… Show more

“…The effectiveness of a base isolation system of a slender rigid object on elastomeric isolators depends also on the height-to-width aspect ratio of the superstructure [8][9][10]. Hino et al [10] present the design of a slender rigid object on elastomeric isolators based on: (a) ultimate state of tensile strength of isolators, (b) ultimate state of drift of the base isolation story under seismic loading, (c) ultimate state of the axial compressive stress of isolators under dead loads and (d) the prediction of overturning moment at the base under seismic loading.…”

“…It is well recognized that, while base-isolated buildings are effective for pulse-type ground motions with predominant periods shorter than about 2 s or random earthquake ground motions without clear predominant period (Jangid and Datta, 1994;Hall et al, 1995;Heaton et al, 1995;Jangid, 1995;Jangid and Banerji, 1998;Kelly, 1999;Naeim and Kelly, 1999;Jangid and Kelly, 2001;Morales, 2003;Takewaki, 2005Takewaki, , 2008Li and Wu, 2006;Hino et al, 2008;Takewaki and Fujita, 2009), their earthquake resilience is not clear for long-period ground motions with the characteristic period of 5-8 s Kamae et al, 2004;Ariga et al, 2006). The long-period ground motions with the characteristic period of 5-8 s have been argued in the structural design of base-isolated and super high-rise buildings since the Tokachi-oki earthquake in 2003 and have been treated as one of the most critical inputs for such buildings after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.…”

“…Various types of base-isolation systems have been introduced for pulse-type ground motions (Jangid and Datta, 1994;Hall et al, 1995;Heaton et al, 1995;Jangid, 1995;Kelly, 1999;Naeim and Kelly, 1999;Jangid and Kelly, 2001;Morales, 2003;Takewaki, 2005Takewaki, , 2008Li and Wu, 2006;Hino et al, 2008;Takewaki and Fujita, 2009). But their resilience for earthquake has never been proved in actual situations for longperiod ground motions with the characteristic period of 5-8 s Kamae et al, 2004;Ariga et al, 2006).…”
