2.1 Linear Theory of Base Isolation
Linear theory was first proposed by James M. Kelly
(1997) [6]. The theory is used to analyze linear as well as
non-linear isolation systems. For non-linear systems the
analysis by this method is only approximate and such
systems the effective stiffness and damping will have to be
estimated by equivalent linearization process. The theory is
based on the two mass structural models as shown in
figure 1

Abstract The present work focuses on the estimation of


response of 2DOF RCC building to earthquake loading as a
fixed base structure and base isolated structure, their
comparisons. The various parametric studies like frequency,
mode of vibrations, modal mass, modal participation factor,
base shear using linear theory of base isolation proposed by
James Kelly.

I. INTRODUCTION

In this era of technological revolution, the world of


seismic engineering is in need of creative thinking and
advanced technologies beyond conventional solution.
Seismic isolation is the best available technology for
seismic protection of a variety of structures that have
different dynamic characteristics. The ability of the
isolation system to dissipate energy makes it consistent
with contemporary thinking in seismic engineering.
Isolation technology has matured in recent years to a highly
dependable and reliable level. Academic research on there
is well advanced and its practical application is becoming
wide spread throughout the world [1].
The recent earthquakes in various part of the world have
again emphasized the fact that the major loss of life in
earthquake happens when it is relatively moderate one in
areas with poor housing. Many people are killed by the
collapse of brittle heavy unreinforced masonry or poorly
constructed concrete buildings. Modern structural control
technologies such as active control or energy dissipation
devices can do little to alleviate this but it is possible that
seismic isolation could be adapted to improve the seismic
resistance of poor housing and other buildings such as
school and hospitals in developing countries.

spectrum as given by I. S. 1893-2002 (Part 1) is used

The frequency of the first mode as given by equation 10
can be thought of as the modification, owing to the
flexibility of the superstructure, of frequency of the
isolation system when the structure is rigid, and because
the structure is stiff as compared to isolation system, the
modification is small. The second mode is very close to a
motion where the two masses m, mb, are vibrating
completely free in space about the center of mass of the
combined system. The frequency of this type of vibration is

L2 M2= M + ma
where

A base- isolated system aims to reduce the forces


experienced by the structure to such a level that no damage
will occur to the structure or to nonstructural elements such
as partitions, etc thus, a lower value for the structure
damping is appropriate.
Here in the linear theory of base isolation an
approximate from is used where the modal damping
factors, 1* and 2* , are given by equation 20 and 21 In
complete analysis the damping system is assumed nonclassical, such that the off-diagonal terms of the damping
matrix which couple the equations of motion are neglected.

Together with the shift in frequencies the results reveal


why the seismic isolation system is effective. The

2 *n n*

participation factor for the second mode 2 which is the


mode which involves structural deformation and is of order
is very small if the frequencies b , s are well

This is equivalent to neglecting the off diagonal terms of

C * n which would couple the equations of motion.

Utilizing the previous results for M1 and M2

separated. When the frequency of the second mode shifts to


a higher value than the original fixed-base frequency, this
shift will take the isolated structure out of the range of
strong earthquake motion if the input has large spectral
accelerations at the original structural frequency.
Moreover, since the participation factor for the second
mode is very small this mode is almost orthogonal to the

Therefore, even if the earthquake does have energy at


the second mode frequency, the ground motion will not be
transmitted into the structure. A seismic isolation system
works not by absorbing energy rather it deflects energy
through this property of orthogonality.

(21)

The above equation shows that the structural damping is


increased by the damping in the bearings s to the order of

1/ 2 .

2.4 Determination of Modal Damping Ratio


A natural rubber isolation system provides a degree of
damping that is in the range of 10-20% of critical damping,
while the damping in the structure is generally between 25%. Normally, this large difference in damping between
the two components would lead to a coupling of the
equations of motion. Hence a complex modal analysis
should be used correctly to analyze such system.

response of the system to specific earthquake inputs. If the

3.5 Response of Base Isolated Single Storeyed RCC


Building
In this section, single storeyed RCC building in section
3.1 is considered as base isolated and the response of the
same is estimated. In addition to this, a parametric study of
base isolated building is carried out for proper
understanding of linear theory presented in section 2 from
its applications point of view.
Elastomeric bearing are used as base isolator. A program
in excel is developed for analysis of the above building by
linear theory of base isolation. In this study the response
quantities of interest are mode shapes, natural frequency,
time period, top displacement of structure, displacement of
the isolator and base shear. In parametric study, the effect
of variation of stiffness, damping and mass ratio of base
isolator on mode shape, natural frequency, and base
displacement of the superstructure, participation factor and
top floor acceleration of the building is evaluated. For this,
the time period of base isolator is varied from 1.5 seconds
to 4 seconds, at an interval of 0.5 seconds, and the response
quantities of interest are determined. For both the systems
response spectrum analysis is done. The generalized
spectrum as given by I.S. 1893-2002 (Part 2) is used
throughout the analysis and hard soil is assumed.

5. Base isolation lengthens the time period of structure,


and thus reduces the pseudo-acceleration for this
mode (for design spectrum considered). This results
in reduction of earthquake induced forces in the
structure.
6. Since the participation factor for the second and
higher modes are small, the modal static responses for
the second and higher modes are negligible as
compared to first mode. Therefore higher modes
contribute little to the earthquake response of the
structure.
7. The higher mode that produces deformation in the
structure is generally not excited by the ground
motion, although its pseudo-acceleration is large.
Because of rigid body motion which accompanies
straining of the base isolated structure the base shear
is reduced considerably.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
The parametric study on 2DOF building helps in
determining the effects of variation of stiffness and
damping of isolators on the important properties of
superstructure, from which the following conclusions are
drawn:
1. Due to provision of base isolators, the dynamic
response of building changes. It is observed that the
shifted isolation frequency of building and that of the
base isolator changes significantly with time period of
the base isolator.
2. The base shear reduces significantly as the isolation
time period increases.
3. For the base isolation to be effective in different
modes, the ratio of time period of base and that of
fixed system (Tb/Ts) should be as large as practical.
4. The linear theory of base isolation is suitable for
estimation of dynamic response of base isolated
buildings.
