Paper Details

Seismic isolation and energy dissipating systems present an effective way to common seismic design forimproving the seismic performance of structures. These techniques reduce the seismic forces by changing the stiffnessand/or damping in the structures, whereas conventional seismic design is required for an additional strength andductility to resist seismic forces. In this paper, various base isolation systems using for structural nonlinear vibrationcontrol and seismic control of structures is studied. From the past few year base isolation has become one of the mostpopular tool for earthquake resistant design of structure. The concept of decoupling of building with the help of baseisolation is being invented from a century. Many researchers has been worked on base isolation system that it is becomeacceptable as a whole in engineering field. However so many types of isolation systems are being invented butamongst them few has become accepted thoroughly. Now a days full scale testing is being performed on shake table totest the various characteristics of different isolators. Present review summarizes literature and theoretical aspectavailable on base isolation system. Some of the papers also deals with the effectiveness of different available isolator andtheir applicability.
