This document summarizes a study on the parametric behavior of a base isolated building with eccentricity in the superstructure and various locations of base isolators. A 3-story reinforced concrete building was modeled with fixed base conditions and 4 base isolated conditions with isolator distributions that produced 5%, 10%, and 15% mass eccentricity. The properties of lead-rubber bearing isolators were defined. The stiffness of isolators was varied to shift the center of isolators and induce eccentricity between the mass center and isolator center. Dynamic analysis found that the base isolated model with isolators positioned at the mass center minus the stiffness center had the longest period, indicating best performance in reducing seismic forces.

Seismic base isolation in strengthening an existing retrofitted masonry reinf...eSAT Journals
Abstract Seismic base isolation is a fast advancing technology in which the superstructure is isolated from the entire structure or from the substructure by means of rubber bearing isolators or frictional sliding isolators. The main aim of the base isolation technology is to isolate the structure from the harmful effects of the ground accelerations or earthquake excitations. In this paper, the procedure for the selection of the three ground motions is briefly explained and they are used in analyzing a masonry – reinforced concrete office building for the Internal Revenue Service in the Huating County of the Pingliang City in China. The structure is first analyzed with the PKPM software to ascertain the structural internal forces are within reasonable limits but because this software cannot be used to advance analysis in the area of base isolation, Sap 2000 is used to remodel the structure, analyze, then apply the seismic base isolation. This office building has been strengthened to be fortified against ultimate bearing capacity failure as it is an existing structure. The lead rubber bearing isolators, LRB 400, LRB 500 and LRB 600 are used to isolate the building model and results from the structural response are compared, first amongst the time histories and then between the enveloped time histories and the response spectrum. The floor joint accelerations are observed to be reduced and the joint velocities as well, whereas the floor joint displacements are increased. The response spectrum alone is seen to not be an enough ground acceleration parameter in a seismic analysis and design of this model; as such it is recommended to include time history analysis. The maximum percentage decrease in acceleration and velocity can be seen occurring in the response spectrum, namely, 85.82% and 59.76%, respectively. The maximum percentage increase in the displacement is also evident in the response spectrum, 57.59%. In the time histories, the maximum is seen in Ec County Y-direction for the acceleration reduction at a value of 60.57%; Delta artif records a maximum velocity reduction of 28.42% in the Y-direction and finally, the Delta artif X-direction also records a maximum displacement increment, at a value of 26.36%.

Abstract Earthquakes can create serious damage to structures. The structures already built are vulnerable to future earthquakes. The damage to structures causes deaths, injuries, economic loss, and loss of functions. Damage to the structure causes due to ground acceleration. This can be minimizing by increasing strength of the structure. Sometimes it is not possible to increase the strength of the structure indefinitely. So it should be tried to increase the capacity of structure using seismic improvement techniques. In this study, there are three different types of G+10 structures with fixed base, structure with viscous damper and structure with high damping rubber bearing are considered. These structures are modeled using finite element software SAP2000v16. These structures have same plan area and are assumed to be situated in seismic zone IV and having medium soil condition. The analysis of these structures is done by performance based pushover analysis method and response spectrum method. The pushover analysis method is used to find out the performance point and capacity of structure. High damping rubber bearing isolators (HDRB) and viscous damper (VD) are use for seismic improvement of RC structure. The procedure of analysis adopted for fixed base structure is same repeated for structure with viscous damper (VD) and base isolated (HDRB) structure. So it will help in comparative parametric study. The results of analysis are compared in terms of storey displacements, modal time period, storey acceleration, performance point, storey drift. The comparative study shows that storey displacement, storey acceleration, storey drift is reduced substantially for structure with high damping rubber bearing (base isolated structure). Key Words: Base isolated structure, Pushover analysis method, Response spectrum method, Viscous damper, High damping rubber bearing, SAP2000v16 etc.

Dynamic Analysis of Soft Storey Frame with IsolatorsIJMTST Journal
Soft storey buildings are very common in Indian housing construction and the bottom storey is left open without walls for car parking. Past earthquakes showed that these kinds of buildings performed poor and the damages are also heavy. As the base isolation is a technique developed to prevent or minimize damage to building during an earthquake, this study focuses on the time history analysis of a soft-storey building with and without lead rubber isolator. The soft-storey building with and without isolator is analysed using Elcenrto earthquake data and the dynamic characteristics are compared.

Effect of Caging and Swimmer Bars on Flexural Response of RC Deep BeamsIJERA Editor
Beams with shear span to depth ratio (a/d) less than or equal to 2 are considered as deep beams. They have wide
applications in pile caps, water tanks, shear walls, corbels etc. Their strength is controlled by shear. Swimmer
bars are small inclined bars, whose both ends are bent horizontally and welded to both top and bottom flexural
reinforcement. Swimmer bars forming a plane crack interceptor system is effective in carrying shear. Also, a
reinforcement caging provided at the centre of a simply supported beam is supposed to enhance its flexural
capacity. In this study, an experimental investigation on the flexural response of deep beams reinforced with
caging and swimmer bars is done. Various parameters like ultimate load, deflection and failure modes of
different reinforcement patterns are studied.
Seismic Response of Structure with Single Coreijtsrd
Shear walls and outriggers have been used so far to resist the seismic waves of earthquake and heavy winds actions. The complete failure of the structures that has occurred in the past due to catastrophic earthquake may be avoided with the use of shear wall in the structure. The study is concerned with the use of shear wall as a single core in structure that will resist the seismic waves of earthquake. In the present study analysis of RCC building has been carried out by changing the locations of shear walls in the building. The seismic analysis performed is linear dynamic response spectrum analysis using the well known analysis and design software ETABS 16.2.0. Seismic performance of the building has been investigated based on parameters such as strorey drift, base shear and storey displacement.

Universal Unique Patient Information Identifier UUPIIFrank Avignone
While there is merit to both sides of the privacy argument there is no longer any argument that could withstand scrutiny against a universal way to identify individuals longitudinal health information and to make that data available both in a de-identified fashion for global population health management efforts and an identified fashion for routine and emergent health services. This academic work will make arguments for the Universal Unique Patient Information Identifier UUPII from technology integration, financial implications, patient safety and legal perspectives supporting a combination of techniques that will provide scalability and flexibility that other national systems such as the Social Security Number could achieve. The bulk of the arguments will focus on the Risk, Compliance, and regulatory perspectives that support the rational for a safe, secure and private universal unique patient information identifier.

Eatrhquake response of reinforced cocrete multi storey building with base iso...eSAT Journals
Abstract A seismic base isolation is an earthquake resistant design method that is based on reducing the seismic demand and also the ductility demand. The basic concept of base isolation system is to increase the natural time period of the fixed base building and to protect the structure from the seismic effect. The main purpose of this work is to study the dynamic response of structure when subjected to different isolators. For this purpose, a three dimensional response spectrum analysis and time history analysis is performed using a commercial structural analysis software package called as SAP 2000 to study the influence of isolation damping on building. The main objective is to make a comparison between the fixed base building and various isolation systems such as friction pendulum isolator, lead rubber bearing (LRB) isolator and high damping rubber isolator, subjected to strong earthquakes to achieve an optimal design of the base isolation system. SAP 2000, a popular large scale explicit finite element analysis software used to stimulate the behavior of base isolated structure. In the present work, it was found that base isolation substantially increases the time period of structure and hence correspondingly reduces the base shear. The top displacement for fixed and isolated cases conspicuously shows the reduction in the case of isolated frame. The study shows that the bending moment and shear force values are reduced for base isolated frame when compared to fixed base building. From design consideration the steel requirement is reduced in base isolated structures when compared to fixed base building. Key Words: Isolators, SAP2000
Seismic Analysis of Framed R.C. Structure with Base Isolation Technique using...ijtsrd
A Natural Calamity like an earthquake has taken a million lives throughout in our past. The force induced due to earthquake is dangerous and last for short duration of time. There are various techniques that can be used resist the force of an earthquake such as base isolation, bracing etc. The principle of base isolation is to isolate the structure from the motion of an earthquake and protect the structure and also reduce the force being transmitted to the building due to earthquake. For this study, G 13 storied R.C. frame building is considered and time history analysis is carried out using E Tabs 2017 software, and also study investigates structural behavior of multi story building with or without base isolation subjected earthquake ground motion. The Lead Rubber Bearing LRB is designed as per UBC 97 code and the same was used for the analysis of base isolation system. Here we shall studying earthquake resistivity of structure by analyzing the base isolation structure to compare its structural performance with fixed base isolation.

Seismic analysis of low to medium rise building for base isolationeSAT Journals
Abstract
Seismic isolation is an alternative to conventional design methods for dealing with earthquake loadings in relatively high frequency
structures, especially in low to medium rise buildings. One of the goals of seismic isolation is to shift the fundamental frequency of the
structure away from the dominant frequencies of seismic excitations and fundamental frequency of the fixed base structure. This
innovative design approach aims mainly at the isolation of a structure from the supporting ground, usually in the horizontal directions
in order to reduce the transmission of the earthquake motion to the super structure.
In this paper seismic analysis performed for a low to medium rise fixed base building and it was observed that the fundamental time
period of the fixed system are typically in the resonance range of 0.1 sec. to 2.0 sec. This results in amplification of the ground
acceleration causing severe damage to structures and their contents. To avoid such a situation, the period must be lengthened, by
increasing the flexibility of the structure by introducing seismic base isolators between the foundation and super structures. A six
storey structure under both fixed base and seismically isolated boundary conditions is studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of
seismic isolation. The comparative result shows that maximum floor acceleration, inter-storey drifts and storey shear forces are
reduced substantially for seismically isolated structure.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.

increases to a value higher than the predominant energy containing time-periods of
earthquake ground motions[1,2,3].
2. PRINCIPLE OF BASE ISOLATION
Base isolation is today most widely accepted earthquake resistant design
philosophy[4]. The term base isolation means the structure i.e. a building, bridge or piece of
equipment is separated from its foundation. Generally since in earthquake the ground
shakes and hence the structure needs to be separated from ground.The concept behind base
isolation is to decouple the building from the ground in such a way that the earthquake
motions are not transmitted up through the building, or are at least greatly reduced. Thus in
principle, seismic isolation introduces flexibility at the base of a structure in the horizontal
plane, while at the same time introducing damping elements to restrict the amplitude of the
motion caused by the earthquake. Mounting buildings on an isolation system will prevent
most of the horizontal movement of the ground from being transmitted to the buildings.
These results in a significant reduction in floor accelerations and inter story drifts. Since a
base-isolated structure has fundamental frequency lower than both its fixed base frequency
and the dominant frequencies of ground motion, the first mode of vibration of isolated
structure involves deformation only in the isolation system whereas superstructure remains
almost rigid. In this way, the isolation becomes an attractive approach where protection of
expensive sensitive equipment’s and internal non-structural components is needed [1, 3].
3. TYPES OF BASE ISOLATORS
The most common type of base isolators used in buildings are:
1. Laminated Rubber (Elastomeric) Bearing.
2. High Damping Rubber Bearing
3. Flat Slider Bearing
4. Lead Rubber Bearing
5. Friction Pendulum System.
Elastomeric bearings / Laminated Rubber Bearing System: have been used widely in
bridges as bearings pads between the girder and the supporting structure for many years. It
consists of electrometric bearings have multiple layers of steel shims and rubber laminated
together under high pressure and heat in a mould. Steel shims prevent lateral bulging of the
rubber when axial loaded as they do not resist shear forces and do not prevent the horizontal
deformation of the layered rubbers. Steel shims increase the vertical stiffness of isolator but
do not increase the lateral stiffness of electrometric bearings. Generally, electrometric
bearings have low critical damping resistance, approximately 2% to 3% of critical viscous
damping and have minimum resistance under service loads [3,4,5].
High Damping Rubber Bearings: are similar in shape to the electrometric bearing, except
that it is made of specially compounded rubber layers that are usually made of materials that
are highly nonlinear in terms of shear strains. In HDR, the effective damping is a function
of strain and effective stiffness and damping depend on elastomeric properties, fillers,
contact pressure, velocity of loading, load history, temperature.

Flat Slider Bearings: This bearings provide hysteresis shape with no strain hardening after
the applied force exceeds the coefficient of friction times the applied vertical load. This is
attractive from a structural design perspective as the total base shear on the structure is
limited to the sliding force. In this system displacements are unconstrained and structure
continues to move in the same direction.
Lead Rubber Bearings: The lead rubber bearing is formed of a lead plug force-fitted into a
pre-formed hole in an elastomeric bearing. The lead core provides rigidity under service
loads and energy dissipation under high lateral loads. Top and bottom steel plates, thicker
than the internal shims, are used to accommodate mounting hardware. The entire bearing is
encased in cover rubber to provide environmental protection, as shown in figure1.When
subjected to low lateral loads such as earthquake & wind, the lead rubber bearing is stiff
both laterally and vertically. The lateral stiffness results from the high elastic stiffness of the
lead plug and the vertical rigidity results from the steel-rubber construction of the bearing.
At higher load levels the lead yields and the lateral stiffness of the bearing is significantly
reduced. This produces the period shift effect characteristic of base isolation. As the bearing
is cycled at large displacements such as during moderate and large earthquakes, the plastic
deformation of the lead absorbs energy as hysteretic damping. The equivalent viscous
damping produced by this hysteresis is a function of displacement and usually ranges from
15% to 35%.
Fig. 1: Lead Rubber Bearing
Friction Pendulum System: This approach for increasing flexibility in a structure, is to
provide a sliding or friction surface between the foundation and the base of the structure.
The isolator provides a resistance to service load by the coefficient of friction, as for flat
slider. Once the coefficient of friction is overcome the articulated slider moves and because
of the accompanied with a vertical movement of the mass provides a restoring force.
4. MODELLING AND STUDY OF 3 STOREY BUILDING FOR FIXED AND BASE
ISOLATION SYSTEM WITH VARIOUS ECCENTRICITIES
4.1 Introduction
It is a known fact that though regular and symmetric building offer maximum
resistance during Earthquake, buildings with asymmetric plan and elevation are choice of
architects, builders and also investors. Due to this asymmetry torsion will be induced in this
building [6-8]. Hence an attempt is made to study the effect of eccentricity both in
superstructure and base isolators. Finite Element analysis was of one fixed base building
and four base isolated buildings of 5%, 10% and 15% of mass eccentricities in super
structure and various distribution of isolators in base isolation system such that eccentricity
is produced between Centre of Mass (CM), and Centre of isolator system (CI) for four

cases.Twenty isolators are placed under all the columns and distribution of isolators is done
in such a way that torsional effects on the isolator system is minimized.
4.2 Fixed base building & Base isolated building frame
The fixed base building is reinforced concrete frame structure of 3 storey building
with symmetric plan. The slab was 120 mm thick and dead load including self-weightwas 4
kN/m2
, while it was subjected to a Live load of 3 kN/m2
on all floors. Concrete of M 25
grade was used while reinforcement consisted on Fe 415 grade of steel. Beam sizes were
kept as 300 mm x 450 mm while columns were designed as 500 mm x 500mm for all
storey. Kobe response spectrum was applied in X direction and both fixed and base isolated
building were analyzed. Figure 2 shows the plan of building. The same plan is adopted for
base isolated building.
Fig. 2: Plan of fixed and base isolated building
Table 1: Properties of Isolators
4.3 Properties of Isolators
In case of base isolated building total 24 isolators were used having different vertical
and horizontal stiffness. The yieldstrength of isolator is taken as the 5% weight of the
structure. The post to yield stiffness ratio (K2=K1) is 0.10. The effective damping of isolator
is taken as 10% for this study. The properties of isolators, which consists of nonlinear
behavior, are shown in table 1. These properties are used to model the structure.
4.4 Distribution of Isolators
To study the effect of placement of isolators in the base isolated building four
models were considered and compared with fixed base building. In all these models centre
of mass (CM) and Centre of Stiffness (CS) was kept fixed while centre of isolators (CI) was
shifted.There are two eccentricities in the structure, one is mass eccentricity denoted by

emand second is stiffness eccentricity denoted by eb. In first case of building, isolators were
positioned in such a manner that its centre coincides with the centre of mass of the building.
Therefore eccentricity is induced only between centre of stiffness and centre of isolators
(CI = CM). Second asymmetric distribution of isolators was done by shifting centre of mass
and centre of isolators on opposite sides of centre of stiffness. This is referred as CI = -CM.
In the third case centre of isolators is kept exactly in the middle of centre of stiffness and
centre of mass in such a manner that eb = 0.5 em. This case is called CI = 0.5 CM. In fourth
case, centre of stiffness is kept exactly in the middle of centre of isolators and centre of
mass producing CI=-CM. Figure3 shows different position of isolators.
Fig. 3: Position of Centre of Isolators
5. VARIATION IN MASS ECCENTRICITY
To achieve 5 % of mass eccentricity in superstructure, centre of isolators and
stiffness of isolators had to be varied for all four cases i.e. CI = CM, CI= -CM,
CI = + 0.5 CM and CI = - 0.5 CM. Figure 4 shows the stiffness of isolators and eccentricity
for CI = CM case. Similar calculations were done for other three cases to find stiffness of
isolators. The percentage reduction or increase in stiffness of isolators on the right and left
side is shown in Table 2.Eccentricity in base isolation system, calculated for case of CI =
CM for 5 % of mass eccentricity with original stiffness of isolator as 4213.20 kN/m is as
follows.
Taking moment at the left face of the building,
= 4 (0.83k × 4 + 0.83k × 8 + 1.17k × 11 + 1.17k × 15 + 1.17k × 19) /24 × k
= 4 (0.83 × 4213.20 × 4 + 0.83 × 4213.20 × 8 + 1.17 × 4213.20 × 11 + 1.17 × 4213.20 × 15
+1.17 × 4213.20 × 19) /24 × 4213.30 = 10.45 m
So, eccentricity in the base isolation e = 10.45 - 9.50= 0.95

Fig. 4: CI= CM model with 5% eccentricity of mass
Similarly to achieve 10 % of eccentricity in mass, the percentage reduction or
increase in stiffness of isolators was done as shown in Table 3 and eccentricity achieved for
CI = CM was 1.90 m and to shift centre of isolators ,stiffness of isolators on the left and
right side were differed as shown in Fig. 5, for CI=CM. Similar calculations were done for
other three cases.

To achieve 15% of mass eccentricity for all four cases, the percentage increase or
decrease in stiffness is indicated in Table 4, while for CI = CM case the eccentricity was
found to be 12.35 m. Figure 6 shows the value of stiffness of isolators to the right and left
side of centre of stiffness to shift the centre of isolators.

7. BEHAVIOUR OF FIXED AND BASE ISOLATED BUILDING
There are many parameters that can be used to assess the seismic response of the
building, but generally computation of base shear and storey drift gives reasonable
assessment to study overall seismic effect. Building was analyzed for Kobe Response
Spectra. Various parameters like time period, base shear, displacement and rotation were
considered and evaluated.
7.1 Time Period
When models of different eccentricity were compared, it could be concluded that
model CI = - CM has maximum time period. If one eccentricity between CS and CM is
( em ) which is equal for all distribution of isolators and another eccentricity is the
eccentricity between CS and CI i.e eb then both eccentricities together will form the total
eccentricity which in the case of CI = - CM , already amounts to 2.em and causes longer
structural periods.
It can also be noted that the time period for the first mode of the base isolated
building with 5% of mass eccentricity in super structure and various distribution of isolators
in base isolation system such that CI = CM, CI = - CM, CI = 0.5 CM, CI = - 0.5 CM was
increased by 2.298, 2.375, 2.294 and 2.334 times respectively compared to the fixed base

building. While in the case when eccentricity was increased by 10% the increase was 2.438,
2.687, 2.423 and 2.556 times respectively, compared to the fixed base building. For 15 % of
mass eccentricity and various distributions of isolators the increase was 2.610, 3.065, 2.603
and 2.805 times respectively. Thus in can be said that there is substantial increase in time
period for base isolated buildings compared to fix base building. Figure 7 shows the
graphical representation of various time periods with eccentricity variation.
Fig. 7: Comparison of Mode v/s Time Period for 5 %, 10%, and 15% of eccentricity.
7.2 Base Shear
The graphical representation of comparison of base shear for base isolated buildings
with 5%, 10% and 15% of mass eccentricities in super structure and various distribution of
isolators in base isolation system such that CI = CM, CI = - CM, CI = 0.5, CM, CI = - 0.5
CM are presented in Figure8. Compared to fixed base building, the base shear for the base
isolated building with 5% of mass eccentricity in super structure and various distribution of
isolators in base isolation system like CI= CM and CI = - CM the decrease was 29.8 %
while for CI = 0.5 CM and CI = - 0.5 CM decrease was 29.73%. When eccentricity of 10%
of mass in super structure was made for different base isolator distribution, the decrease was
27 % approximately compared to fix base building. While for 15% of mass eccentricity in
super structure the decrease was 23.5 % approximately when compared with fixed base
building. From results, it can be said that by use of base isolators substantial reduction in
base shear was achieved.
7.3 Displacement
From results, it can be said that the best protection is not reached in the case of CI =
CM i.e where the eccentricity of the isolation system is similar to the eccentricity of the
superstructure as is commonly perceived while when CI = 0.5 CM bearing distribution does
not give so drastically unfavorable results. Much better protection was reached in case
where CI was positioned further away from the CM (eg. original, CI = - CM and CI = -
0.5CM distribution). The minimum displacement for base isolated buildings was obtained
for the case of CI = - CM. Results are graphically shown in figure 9.

7.4 Rotation
From results, it can be said that the CI = - CM and CI = - 0.5 CM distributions of
isolators gave more torsion response. The minimum rotation for base isolated buildings was
obtained for the case of CI = CM. Figure 10 shows graphical representation of various
eccentricity

8. CONCLUSION
Nonlinear response spectrum analysis of one fixed base building and four base
isolated buildings with 5%, 10% and 15% of mass eccentricity in super structure and
various distribution of isolators in base isolation system such that CI = CM, CI = - CM, CI=
0.5 CM, CI = - 0.5 CM is carried out.
• Results of Kobe Response spectrum analysis shows that time period of the building
increases with the eccentricity, but varies with different isolator position when is
compared with fixed base building. The increase in time period for first mode of
base isolated building with 5%, 10% and 15 % of mass eccentricities in super
structure and various distribution of isolators in base isolation system for CI =CM is
2.298,2.438 to 2.61 while for CI =-CM it is 2.375, 2.687 and 3.065 compared to
fixed base building.
• There is reduction in the base shear of base isolated building compared to fixed base
building, but as the eccentricity increases from 5 % to 15 %, the reduction decreases
from 30 % to 24 % for different location of isolators.
• The displacement, when considered for different eccentricities was minimum when
centre of isolator and centre of mass are on opposite sides of centre of stiffness,
while rotation is minimum when both of centre of mass and centre of isolator are
equal.
• The rotation of the base isolation system for base isolated buildings with 5%, 10%
and 15% of mass eccentricities in super structure and various distribution of
isolatorsin base isolation system such CI = CM, CI = - CM, CI = 0.5 CM,
CI = - 0.5CM, the minimum rotation is obtained for the case of CI = CM.
Thus, it can be said that when centre of mass and centre of isolators are equal,
torsional amplification can be reduced even when there was eccentricity in superstructure,
but displacement increased with increase in eccentricity. This conclusions were contradicted
when centre of isolators and centre of mass are on opposite sides. Therefore, optimum
solution was to place centre of isolator CI = ±CM/2, which will help not only to reduce the
top displacement of superstructure but will also reduce the rotation of building.
