Abstract
The isolation effectiveness of the Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system was further investigated via a series of prescribed shaking-table tests. The dynamic response of GSI system was also evaluated in detail of this work. A parametric study for assessment of the isolation performance of GSI was conducted by varying experimental key parameters, such as rubber percentage of rubber-sand mixtures (RSM), configuration of the foundation, storey number of the superstructure, and different kinds of seismic acceleration inputs. From the parametric survey, it can be concluded that the GSI system can to some extent attenuate the dynamic response of the superstructure under big earthquake shakings.
