Abstract:base isolation can significantly improve the seismic performance of structures. However, significant 3D movement coupling and rocking behavior of the superstructure due to the high gravity center of the structure can be observed, which will lead to a complex design of the isolation system and the isolators. In addition, as the 3D isolators are installed beneath the structures, they need to support the heavy weight of the superstructure with low vertical stiffness. It is difficult to meet both the vertical load… Show more
