## Abstract The seismic analysis of a reactor building on a slidingโtype base isolation is performed by way of the hybrid frequencyโtimeโdomain procedure. The frequency dependence of the foundation stiffness coefficients is duly accounted for in the analysis, although the problem is nonโlinear. The

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
This study investigates the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the response of base-isolated buildings. The equations of motion are formulated in the frequency domain, assuming frequencyindependent soil stiffness and damping constants. An equivalent fixed-base system is developed that acc
## Abstract The midโstory isolation design method is recently gaining popularity for the seismic protective design of buildings located in the areas of high population. In a midโstory isolated building, the isolation system is incorporated into the midโstory rather than the base of the building. In
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
