| Abstract: |
The Eskişehir City Hospital with four main building blocks is located 250 km south east of Istanbul in a rather highly seismic zone of Turkey with up to 0,6 g PGA. To avoid any fatalities or damages to the structure and enable absolute continued functionality even after the MCE event, it was decided to apply seismic isolation with pendulum isolators. This paper will show the design considerations to limit the base shear within the isolated building blocks for the MCE event down to less than 0.13 W (W = seismic weight = Dead Load + 0.3 Live Load) on isolator top level and max. 0.2 W on the upper floor building levels of the structure and the realization with suitable seismic pendulum isolators. For these low shear level requirements the isolator performance was adjusted to 3.5 s effective period and 26 % damping. |
