Performance of Structure with Fixed Base and Lead Rubber Bearing: Review

Abstract

Base Isolation approach is the most normally used method to defend a shape from earthquake. The thinking in the back of this approach is to detach the superstructure from floor with the aid of introducing bendy isolators between basis and superstructure. These isolators soak up electricity or vibrations and shield shape from an earthquake. Since the last fifteen years, the base isolation technique has been regarded as one of the most effective strategies for stopping the effects of earthquakes. The flexible foundation enables to detach a superstructure from its substructure, which is built on a seismic ground, resulting in the structure being protected. The main objective of the paper is to encourage structure engineers to move towards the base isolation system rather than conventional system.
