Performance‐based testing specifications for seismic isolators

Hyun‐myung Kim,
Michael C. Constantinou

Abstract: This paper presents a study that determines the conditions of testing for determining the bounding properties of seismic isolators for use in analysis and design in a test that is meant to be a replacement of tests Items 2(a) and 3 of ASCE/SEI‐7. Then separately, the study determines the conditions of testing for determining the adequacy of isolators in the maximum considered earthquake in a test is meant to be a replacement of test Item 4 of ASCE/SEI‐7. The test conditions are determined by performing analyse… Show more

“…The temperatures in the long-duration ground motion are larger and they are sustained for longer times when the plate thickness is small (20 mm in this study) to warrant consideration of their implications on testing requirements for the effects of the maximum earthquake using the procedures in Kim and Constantinou. 17,18 The results on temperature for the top sliding interface in Figure 14 appear unusual for the case in which the two plates have unequal thicknesses (Case 3 where L 1 = 20 mm, L 4 = 50 mm). It would have been expected that the temperature at the top sliding interface would have been larger by comparison to the reference case of indefinite plate thickness.…”

“…In standard ASCE/SEI-7, 19 this test is performed at the average gravity load on the isolator and for a lateral displacement having amplitude of 0.75D M and period of T M for at least 10 cycles of motion (where D M is the resultant maximum displacement and T M is the corresponding effective period computed for the maximum earthquake). Kim and Constantinou 17,18 established procedures for this test based on computed histories of temperature at the sliding interface of sliding isolators. Their study was based on the use of models for the heating of sliding isolators that assume indefinite plate thickness.…”
