Abstract
Low-income regions do not have the economic strength to use conventional isolators; therefore, low-cost alternatives are needed. The recent series of earthquakes in Turkey has once again demonstrated the destructive power of this natural disaster and highlighted the need for high-quality earthquake-resistant structures. In this context, a comprehensive experimental parametric study on the use of natural stone pebbles (ASL-1) and stone pebbles in combination with a geogrid layer (ASL-2) as suitable materials for a GSI system is conducted and the main results are presented. The seismic behavior of five different models was tested using four different acceleration diagrams with different peak ground accelerations (PGAs). Characteristic displacements, accelerations, and strains were measured. The results and conclusions presented are based on the integration and synthesis of several previously conducted studies.
