Low-Cost Seismic Isolation Technology for Low-Rise Rural Buildings
Abstract eng: This paper proposes an innovative low-cost isolator with lightweight and cost-effective features for use in low-rise residential buildings. The low-cost laminated isolator is formed by plastic shims with unsaturated polyester fiber reinforcement between rubber layers. Both types of low-cost isolators within the G4 rubber layers and G6 rubber layers have been designed and manufactured. Performance tests are systematically carried out to characterize the isolator in terms of mechanic behavior (e.g., compression, shear, and their relationship), dynamic properties (e.g., damping), and ultimate states. A connection construction scheme is put forward for low-rise rural buildings. This simple isolation technology provides scientific and technological support for popularizing seismic isolation technology in underdeveloped rural areas.
