Base isolation for steel structures on stiff and soft soil
Abstract
In designing base isolation devices for mitigating dynamic response induced in civil structures by earthquakes, a main role is played by the interaction effects between the structure itself and the soil characterizing the site. In the paper one reports an effective approach for properly calibrating structural isolator devices on the basis either of the dynamical characteristics of the superstructure or of the subsoil filtering capacity.
