An analysis is given for the medium-rise building
with fixed base and other with base isolation device. The device
hereby used for base isolation is Fiber-reinforced Elastomeric
Isolator (FREI). The Fiber-reinforced Elastomeric Isolator is an
isolator which uses fiber fabric material instead of steel thin
plates. The main purpose of using FREI is to analyze the seismic
response of medium-rise RCC frame building. As in past many
research work have been carried out for low-rise building.
Therefore, in this paper (G+4), (G+6), (G+8) Storey building are
taken for study and analysis has been demonstrated using
commercial software ETABS v17. The design of Fiber
Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators is broadly based on the
guidelines of ASCE 7-10. The response spectrum analysis of
different storey are based on Indian Design Standard. In addition
to the design of FREI, a comparison between fixed based and
base isolated RCC frame building has been carried out in the
form of time period, displacement, drift at various load
combination. The above parameter is taken to check whether it
can withstand the loads and seismic forces without any failure.
