In the present paper two different base isolation systems, designed and verified according to the european seismic code (EC2 and EC8), are compared for evaluating the behaviour of a base isolated building, highly irregular in plan, in presence of a seismic excitation. The devices adopted for realizing the different base isolation systems are the High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB) and the Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) both of them actuated in parallel with a Friction Slider (FS). A dynamic nonlinear analysis for a three-dimensional base isolated structure has been performed. Recorded accelerograms for bi-directional ground motions, compatible with the reference elastic response spectrum for each limit state have been used for a more realistic evaluation of the seismic response of the structure and a more realistic comparative analysis between the base isolated structure with the different considered base isolation systems and the traditional fixed base structure.

Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan adalah menggunakan peredam beban gempa dengan sistem isolasi dasar (base isolation system). Penggunaan base isolation system  pada bangunan dapat mengisolasi perambatan getaran akibat gempa dari tanah ke struktur atas bangunan menggunakan komponen berbahan karet. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh penggunaan sistem isolasi dasar berupa High Damping Rubber Bearing pada periode dan gaya geser dasar  struktur beton bertulang. Objek penelitian adalah bangunan hotel 15 lantai dengan ketinggian 62,9 m. Penelitian diawali dengan pemodelan struktur menggunakan aplikasi ETABS v2016 sehingga didapatkan periode dan gaya geser dasar struktur fixbase. Tahap selanjutnya memberikan gaya pada model struktur dengan isolasi dasar High Dumper Rubber Bearing sehingga didapatkan periode dan gaya geser dasar struktur dengan base isolator. Hasil analisis pada struktur fixbase didapatkan periode sebesar 4,212 detik, dengan gaya geser dasar didapatkan sebesar 1470,725 ton. Sedangkan hasil analisis pada struktur dengan base isolator didapatkan periode sebesar 5,500 detik, dengan gaya geser dasar didapatkan sebesar 1286,071 ton. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pada struktur dengan base isolator terjadi peningkatan periode sebesar 30,58 %, sedangkan gaya geser dasar terjadi penurunan 12,56 %.

In recent years, many studies on base isolation strategies and devices have been developed and applied in U. S. A., Europe, Japan, and New Zealand. The high damping rubber bearing belongs to one kind of the earthquake-proof ideas of base isolation technologies. The installation of high damping rubber bearings can lengthen the natural period of a building and simultaneously reduce the earthquake-induced energy trying to impart to the building. The objective of this paper is to investigate the base isolation effect of high damping rubber bearings. The uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial shaking table tests were performed to study the seismic behavior of a 0.4-scale three-story isolated steel structure in the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering in Taiwan. The experimental and analytical results show that the nonlinear mechanical characteristics of the high damping rubber bearings can be reasonably simulated.

Base isolation systems are among the most successful and widely applied methods of mitigatingstructural vibration and damage during seismic events. These systems have been installed in numerousfull-scale structures all around. There are three principal types of base isolators: Lead Rubber Bearing(LRB), High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB), and Friction Pendulum System (FPS). It is necessaryto extensively examine the response of different LRB isolators—by combining them with re-centeringand damping properties for isolated steel frame buildings experiencing several NF ground motions. Thepresent research uses comparative-descriptive methodology and application in terms of objectives. Thedata needed for the study were collected using library references and through reviewing related studiesconducted in the past in the same field.Results of the current comparative investigation indicated significant reductions in the storey drift,shear, and acceleration and increment in the storey displacement. According to the findings of thecurrent study, base isolators provide flexibility to massive structures against earthquakes. Thesestructures are situated on rigid soils. Moreover, base isolation was found to be the most effective incontrolling the response of the structures during earthquakes. Finally, shear, storey drift, and storeydisplacement reduce due to the use of base isolators as compared to the fixed-base structure.

This paper deals with one of the applications of the Semi-Active Oil Damper system, which applies base isolation systems reducing the maximum acceleration. The theory of the Semi-Active Oil Damper system is based on Karnopp Theory. The theory has been actually now in use for a Semi-active suspension system of the latest Shinkansen (New trunk lines) trains to improve passenger’s comfortable riding. Various experiments have been conducted using a single mass model whose weight is 15 ton on the shaking table. This model is supported by the rubber bearing. The natural frequency is 0.33Hz of this system. Two Semi-Active Oil Damper were installed in the model and excited the table for one horizontal direction. The maximum damping force of each Semi-Active Oil Damper used for the model is 4.21 kN. The damper can change the damping coefficient by utilizing two solenoid valves. Therefore, the dynamic characteristic of the damping force has two modes. One is a hard damping coefficient and the other is a soft one. It was confirmed that the maximum acceleration of the Semi-Active Oil Damper system can be reduced more than 20% in comparison with the passive Oil Damper system in our tests.
