A systematic study is made of the effects of seismic impacts between the base of an isolated building and the surrounding retaining wall. The analysis is performed without using gap elements or assuming values of the coefficient of restitution and the duration of impact. The analysis captures the ef
In order to achieve a low isolation frequency, elastomeric bearings used for base isolation of buildings usually have low shear rigidity which leads to a significant reduction in the buckling load. The effects-of compression load on the bearing behaviour are therefore an important consideration. A s
A ΓΏnite element formulation modelling hyperelastic quasi-incompressible rubber-like materials (elastomers) is developed which takes into account large displacements and large elastic strains as well as inelastic e ects.
