Abstract
Abstract: Seismic isolation devices are commonly employed to protect structures from the impacts of severe ground motions. ETABS2016, a modelling and analysis programme, was used in this work to model and analyse the isolated stepped building. Rubber isolator link components were used as a single joint element to represent the rubber isolators between the ground and the superstructure. El-Centro seismic records were used to analyse the isolated building. The lateral inter-storey drifts, story displacement and peak absolute floor accelerations, of the isolated building were compared to those of the fixed-base structure. The current study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of several types of base isolation systems for seismic protection of 6-story stepped structures using Time history analysis. The isolation systems considered include, i) rubber isolators, ii) rubber isolators with energy dissipation systems, and iii) friction pendulum isolators.
