This paper proposes an aseismic design concept in which the superstructure of a base-isolated building is divided into several segments. Each segment may comprise a few storeys and is interconnected by additional vibrational isolation systems. The dynamic characteristics of the segmental buildings a

The investigation reported in this paper studies the e!ects of soil}structure interaction (SSI) on the seismic response and damage of building}foundation systems. A simple structural model is used for conducting a parametric study using a typical record obtained in the soft soil area of Mexico City
## Abstract This paper attempts to study the response of light equipment items attached to a multiβstorey building that may be subjected to large torsional deformations during the earthquake excitation. To account for the effect of torsion and translation, each storey of the building is modelled as
## 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
