Analytical Study on the Application of Seismic Isolation Technology to the Vulnerable Buildings in Romania

Abstract eng:
For the seismically vulnerable buildings in Romania, the possibility of the seismic isolation technology, which is one of the most effective method for the seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings, is discussed. The nonlinear response analysis is carried out for the seismically isolated reinforced concrete buildings that have 0.05-0.20 of weight base shear coefficient for the super structure and 0.02-0.2 of shear coefficient and 2.0-6.0 sec natural period for the seismically isolated story. For the input ground motion, the N-S record obtained at INCERC Bucharest on Mach 4, 1977 is used. As the result of numerical analysis, it is obtained that the seismic isolation technology is feasible for the vulnerable buildings in Romania and the optimum application cases are obtained.
