Retraction: Design of Base Isolation System for a Six Storey Reinforced Concrete Building (IOP Conf. Ser.: Earth Environ. Sci. 796 012034)

Abstract

This article has been retracted by IOP Publishing following a request by the authors that this article may contain potential research errors. IOP Publishing has investigated in line with COPE guidelines, and during the course of the investigation were made aware the article contains potential similarities to other published works [1-4]. Due to the nature of the overlap identified, and the extent of the changes requested by the authors, the journal has lost confidence in the validity of the findings presented and agree this article should be retracted. The authors have neither confirmed whether they agree or disagree to this retraction.
