✦ Synopsis

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 accounts for soil compliance and damping characteristics of the base-isolated building. Closed-form expressions are derived, followed by a thorough parametric study involving the pertinent system parameters. For preliminary design, the methodology can serve as a means to assess effective use of base isolation on building structures accounting for SSI. This study concludes that the effects of SSI are more pronounced on the modal properties of the system, especially for the case of squat and stiff baseisolated structures.

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

In the conventional design, buildings are generally considered to be fixed at their bases. In reality, flexibility of the supporting soil medium allows some movement of the foundation. This decreases the overall stiffness of the building frames resulting in a subsequent increase in the natural perio
