In the present study, an attempt is made to compare the

results obtained from Time History Analysis. Different
models of G+6 storey of fixed base, rubber isolated and
friction isolated buildings are modeled in Etabs. The seismic
analysis is carried out taking into consideration that the
buildings are located in zone V. The base shears, storey
displacement,storey drift, time period are plotted and
compared with C shape,L shape,H shape and T shape
buildings model..The major conclusions drawn from the
present study are as follows:
 From the tables and graphs of storey displacement
of isolated and fixed base building of C shape ,L
shape, H shape and T shape buildings , it is clear
that the storey displacements are much higher for
isolated buildings. The isolator with friction has
Storey drift more displacement compared to rubber isolator.
 The base shear in X-direction & Y-direction it is

and the friction isolator in X&Y direction are shown And it is obtained from the graph and the table that
is plotted for the C shape ,L shape, H shape and T
shape buildings. And identified that the Friction
isolator will better to reduce the base shear than
using Rubber isolator.
 Time period of both the base isolated structures i.e.
Rubber and Friction isolator increases as compared
to the fixed base structure. Friction isolator has got
greater increase in time period than Rubber
isolator.The increment value in time period while
using the isolation system is obtained from the
graph and table that is ploted for C shape ,L shape,
H shape and T shape buildings on each mode.
 Results from storey drift that is obtained for C shape
,L shape, H shape and T shape buildings with and
without base isolation shows that the storey drift in

base isolation devices over the conventional
