Experimental Study on Effectiveness of a Prototype Seismic Isolation System Made of Polymeric Bearings

Seismic isolation is identified as one of the most popular and effective methods of protecting structures under strong dynamic excitations. Base isolators, such as Lead Rubber Bearings, High Damping Rubber Bearings, and Friction Pendulum Bearings, are widely used in practice in many earthquake-prone...
