Abstract:Earthquake forces have always been considered as a threat to the structures. One of the most effective ways to have structures with minimal damage and improve their resilience is prevent transmission of earthquake forces to the superstructures. For this purpose, the base isolation method can be implemented. Common types of base isolators are elastomeric rubber bearing and lead rubber bearing. Elastomeric rubber bearing is consisting rubber layers and intermediate steel plates that are produced by vulcanization… Show more
