Base Pounding Model and Response Analysis of Base-Isolated Structures under Earthquake Excitation

In order to study the base pounding effects of base-isolated structure under earthquake excitations, a base pounding theoretical model with a linear spring-gap element is proposed. A finite element analysis program is used in numerical simulation of seismic response of based-isolated structure when...
