Base Isolation 101 seminar

  • Print

This seminar will cover:

  • Conventional seismic design of concrete structures: ensuring structural capacity exceeds seismic demand and accepting damage (plastic deformation)
  • Base isolation of concrete structures: ensuring seismic demand is less than structural capacity and assuring essentially elastic (damage-free) behavior; an alternative to conventional design
  • History of base isolation
  • Basic requirements of an isolation system for buildings/bridges/industrial plant
  • Typical base isolation hardware (elastomeric and friction devices)
  • Applications of base isolation systems in New Zealand and worldwide
  • Simplified design procedure of a base isolation system for given performance criteria
  • Design of isolation hardware to meet system requirements
  • Specifying isolation hardware
  • Code requirements for quality assurance
