EFFECTS OF MECHANICAL PROPERTY VARIABILITY IN LEAD RUBBER BEARINGS ON THE RESPONSE OF SEISMIC ISOLATION SYSTEM FOR DIFFERENT GROUND MOTIONS

The effects of variability of the mechanical properties of lead rubber bearings on the response of a seismic isolation system are investigated. Material variability in manufacturing, aging, and operation temperature is assumed, and two variation models of an isolation system are considered. To evalu...
