Question: Example 5 - Base Isolation System Using the Elastic Design Acceleration Spectrum given in TBDY 2 0 1 8 ( Turkey Building Earthquake Code )

Example 5- Base Isolation System
Using the Elastic Design Acceleration Spectrum given in TBDY2018(Turkey Building
Earthquake Code),(Ss=1.0,S1=0.3, and for local soil class ZC,Sds=1.2,Sd1=0.45).
a) Compute the elastic base shear force and displacement for the fixed-base shear frame
structure (A)
b) Select the period of the base isolation system (B) to reduce the shear force to 110 of
the fixed-base case. Compute the displacements of the isolation system and
displacement of the super structure (B).
c) Adding a damper system to the base isolated structure (C) with damping %30, calculate
the shear force and displacement .
m=10 ton, E=3.0e7kNm2,H=3m, Columns: 50cm30cm and 40cm30cm
Note: Ignore the mass of base isolation system
