This paper presents the results obtained from numerical simulations of shaking-table experimental tests on a benchmark masonry structure, base-isolated by a hybrid base isolation system. The latter combines standard base isolators with a tuned inerter damper, consisting of a grounded rack-and-pinion inerter connected in series to a set of linearly-elastic springs and a viscous dashpot in parallel. Finite element analyses implemented in SAP2000 demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid base isolation system.

摘要

This paper presents the results obtained from numerical simulations of shaking-table experimental tests on a benchmark masonry structure, base-isolated by a hybrid base isolation system. The latter combines standard base isolators with a tuned inerter damper, consisting of a grounded rack-and-pinion inerter connected in series to a set of linearly-elastic springs and a viscous dashpot in parallel. Finite element analyses implemented in SAP2000 demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid base isolation system.
