Abstract:

Historical buildings are considered to be critical infrastructures. Different conservation organizations are developing a vested interest in strengthening and securing the resilience of historic buildings against earthquakes. Earlier studies in the use of seismic isolation systems for historic building and other publicly important buildings produced results that clearly show the benefits of seismic isolation in the horizontal direction. However, vertical ground motions transmitted through the isolation system remain significantly unchanged or even magnified, in some cases. In response to this problem, this paper presents vertical deflection of the seismic isolation system for use in a historic building.
