Optimization of Second Isolation Period for Parallel Base-Isolated System

Abstract:

The optimization of second isolation period for parallel base isolation system is investigated systematically. The maximum dissipative energy scale factor is used as the objective function, the maximum sliding displacement of base-isolated layer, the residual displacement and the maximum base shear coefficient are considered as the constraining factors. For first to fourth category site, under the low amplitude severe earthquake, the variation rule of the four seismic response indicators for the second isolation period is approximately same, the second isolation period is proposed to be in the range of 4s to 6s.
