✦ Synopsis

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 acceleration, is used as earthquake excitation. The base isolator consists of an array of elastomeric bearings between the base of the structure and its foundation. The root mean square (r.m.s.) response of the system is obtained under different parametric variations in order to investigate the effects of superstructure and isolator eccentricities on the stochastic response of a base isolated building. The system parameters include the eccentricity of the superstructure, the uncoupled torsional to lateral frequencies ratio of the superstructure, the eccentricity of the isolator, and the uncoupled torsional to lateral base isolation frequencies ratio of the isolator. It is shown that these parameters have considerable influence on the response of a base isolated structure and the effectiveness of base isolation in reducing the seismic forces in the superstructure.

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

## Abstract Numerical simulations and parametric studies have been used to investigate the influence of potential poundings of seismically isolated buildings with adjacent structures on the effectiveness of seismic isolation. Poundings are assumed to occur at the isolation level between the seismic
