Abstract Base isolation provides a very effective passive method of protecting the structure from the hazards of earthquakes. The proposed isolation system combines the laminated rubber bearing with the device made of shape memory alloy (SMA). The smart base isolation uses hysteretic behavior of SMA to increase the structural damping of the structure and utilizes the different responses of the SMA at different levels of strain to control the displacements of the base isolation system at various excitation levels. The performance of the smart base isolation is compared with the performance of isolation by laminated rubber bearings to assess the benefits of additional SMA damper for isolation of three story building.
