About this document
Base Isolation for Earthquake Resistance by Santosh Yadav is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the key details of a student project to model and test base isolation as a seismic protection system for buildings. The models included a base isolated building resting on rollers and a general building directly fixed to its foundation. Testing on a shake table showed that the base isolated model shifted as a whole in response to ground motions, while the general model exhibited inter-story drift and damage. This demonstrated that base isolation is effective at reducing seismic forc
