Abstract :

Abstract - Base isolation method is one of the passive seismic isolation systems commonly used in earthquake prone areas. Over the past several decades, base isolation has been considered for structures like buildings and bridges subjected to earthquake ground motion. The fundamental principle of base isolation is to modify the response of the building so that the ground can move below the building without transmitting these motions into the building. In this project, analysis is performed on RC residential building. The design and analysis of building is done using computer program ETABS. The performance of the considered building with and without base isolator is studied. The main objective is to compare efficiency of fixed base and isolated base building. The rubber bearings are used as a base isolation system.
