Comparative Analysis For With & Without Elastomeric Base Isolated Structure Using E-Tabs

Base isolation method is one of the passive seismic isolation systems commonly used in earthquake prone areas. Over the past several decades, base isolation has been considered for structures like buildings and bridges subjected to earthquake ground motion. The fundamental principle of base isolation is to modify the response of the building so that the ground can move below the building without transmitting these motions into the building.

holds the rubber in a vertical direction by providing stiffness.

2. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT.

1) To analyze the of structure with elastomeric base isolation


using ETABS.

2) ) To analyze the of structure without elastomeric base


isolation using ETABS.
4. RESULTS & CALCULATIONS.
3) To compare storey, displacements, drifts, base share.
G+7 storey building was analyzed using the software E-Tabs.
3. METHODOLOGY.

G+7 story RCC building was considered for the analysis. For
analysis of the structure the software E-Tabs was used. The
base isolator considered for analysis was rubber bearing which
includes alternate layers of rubber and steel shims. At the top
and bottom steel plate is connected. The assumed shape of
bearing is circular. Following details were obtained after the
design of base isolator.

The term "isolation" itself refers to the reduced action between


the main structure and the ground. When the system is
provided under the structure, it is called "base isolation".

5. CONCLUSIONS.

Based on the theoretical and modeling finding,the following


conclusions were drawn.

1. From the response analysis, the base shear of base isolated


structure is minimum when compared with the fixed base
structure indicating response of building is better in base
isolated structure.

2. Base isolated structure shows slight lateral deflection when


compared to a fixed base structure.

3. Due to increase in flexibility of structure, displacement of


isolated building increases.

4. The base isolation system maintains longer fundamental


period.

5. The base isolation system decouples the building from the


earthquake when compared to that of the fixed base building.
