Comparative Evaluation of Base-Isolated and Fixed-Base Buildings Using a Comprehensive Response Index
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although current code guidelines specify different seismic performance objectives for fixed-base and isolated buildings, the future of performance-based design will allow user-selected performance objectives, motivating ...
Comparative Response Assessment of Minimally Compliant Low-Rise Base-Isolated and Conventional Steel Moment-Resisting Frame Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the multihazard response of code-designed conventional and base-isolated steel frame buildings is evaluated using nonlinear response history analysis. The results of hazard and structural response analysis ...
