- Title
Study on a Seismic Isolated Building Using Two Different Isolation Systems.

- Abstract
Seismic protection of buildings using the base isolation method has become a technique increasingly used especially in countries with strong seismicity, due to the efficiency which had been proved after major earthquakes. The paper presents a comparative study between two seismic isolation systems. The first system is composed of high damping rubber bearings, linear motion guides and nonlinear fluid viscous damper (HDRB+LMG+NFVD) and the second system is composed of friction pendulum bearings with one sliding surface (FPB). The study showed that the seismic isolation system composed of HDRB+LMG+NFVD had higher relative displacements, smaller absolute acceleration, higher base shear force and higher dissipated energy than the seismic isolation system composed of FPS.
