Abstract:The promising seismic response emerged by the concept of base isolation leads to increasing practical applications into buildings located at low-to-moderate seismicity regions. However, it is questionable that their collapse capacities can be ensured with reasonable reliability, although they would be designed according to a current seismic design code. This paper aims to investigate the collapse capacities of isolated buildings governed by the prescribed design criteria on the displacement and strength capaci… Show more
