Study on Isolated Layer Mechanics Character of Combined Base Isolated Structure Based on Axial Forces Redistribute

Abstract:

Abstract：Combined isolation system is combined with rubber bearings which provide resilience forces and sliding isolated bearings which provide damp. According to the rule of axial forces redistributing between two kinds of bearings under earthquake, a calculating method considering the vertical force redistribute of isolation layer was given. With this method, the results of an example show that axial force will transfer from rubber bearings to sliding isolated bearings along with the horizontal displacement of isolation layer. The bigger the displacement is the more axial force transfers. So the axial-forces redistribution is a self-adjustable performance of the system, and also is an advantage for the system.
