## Abstract This paper concerns the design of passive base isolation systems characterized by a bilinear hysteretic behaviour. The study refers to the case where the structure to be isolated (superstructure) vibrates according to the first mode. In this case the whole isolated structure can be mode

The yield level of an insulator is one of the important parameters which are related to responses and absorbing energy under seismic input energy in isolated structures. The purpose of this paper is to determine the optimal ratios of yield force of the isolator (Q ) to the total weight of the struct
## Abstract The seismic response of singleβdegreeβofβfreedom (SDOF) systems incorporating flagβshaped hysteretic structural behaviour, with selfβcentring capability, is investigated numerically. For a SDOF system with a given initial period and strength level, the flagβshaped hysteretic behaviour i
An experimental study of a seismically isolated and a comparable non-isolated bridge is presented. The bridge model featured flexible piers, weighed 158 k N and was tested on a shake table with an array of real and simulated seismic motions with peak acceleration in the range 0.1-ldy. When isolated,
