| Abstract: |
Applying seismic isolation technologies to over-track buildings enables a reduction of lower structures accompanying reduced seismic response. That reduction of structures will likely allow cuts in construction time and costs of those buildings that face severe constraints in terms of design and construction. Using seismic isolation to control the area where damage occurs can also enable earlier recovery after a disaster. There were, however, technical issues faced in achieving seismic isolation of over-track buildings. To overcome those, we came up with a new seismic isolation frame form. Using a model that simulates a over-track building, we verified safety of the building at earthquakes through test design and analysis of seismic isolation by the conceived frame form. |
