Abstract
There has been many researches in order to further improve the Base Isolation system by trying various combinations and alternative materials. In that fiber reinforced isometric isolators are emerged as a viable solution, because for the low cost and effective response to seismic waves as compared to the conventional isolators. Studies further shows that it provides high vertical stiffness and low horizontal stiffness, also having effective damping over the conventional one. Developing countries who doesn’t have proper seismic protection solutions have found this convenient as they are comparatively less in cost and doesn’t require complex installation. Studies also shows Un-bonded FREI has lower horizontal stiffness and considerably lower stress demand on rubber material as compared to the B-FREI and hence significantly higher seismic isolation efficiency.
