The coupled lateral-torsional stochastic response of an asymmetric one-storey base isolated building to earthquake excitation is presented. The stochastic model of the 1940 El-Centro earthquake, which preserves the non-stationary evolution of the amplitude and frequency content of the ground acceler

The response of base-isolated buildings to gusting wind is analysed theoretically based on experimental data obtained in a boundary layer wind tunnel. A comparison is made with the response evaluated using existing codes. A special procedure, similar to that of current codes, for computing the along
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
The stationary response of base-isolated buildings subjected to earthquake excitation is studied. The frequency content of earthquake input is described by the Clough-Penzien spectral model. The response parameters of interest are (1) the rootmean-square (RMS) displacement (T, of the basement relati
