The current paper investigates the behavior of friction pendulum bearing. Recently developed Triple friction pendulum bearing exhibits as a adaptive in nature for the different level of earthquakes along with its flexibility in design point of view. Different level of earthquakes based on probability of occurrence are considered earthquakes are considered to understand the behavior of TFP bearings. To achieve the target damping ratio and time period, three different models are designed. The influence of increase in displacement shows more effective results in design bases earthquake.
