Energy Dissipating Devices

Earthquake bring energy

which results in vibrations
of buildings

Base Isolated Structures
Base isolation reduces the transmission of ground motion to the
building thus producing a seismic load on base isolated structure
smaller than fixed base structure

TYPES OF BASE ISOLATORS

Low Damping High Damping Lead Rubber

 Merits and Demerits of BIS
• MERITS
– Can be retrofitted.
– The deflection and stresses are lower.
– Smarter cross-sections.
– Remain serviceable after an earthquake.

• DEMERITS
– Cannot resist earthquakes in vertical direction.
– Allowance/Chances for building overturning .
– Skilled labour required
– Difficult to placed where the terrain is uneven

 General Design Principle
By reducing the stiffness, we can increase the period of the structure resulting
in a reduced response to the earthquake motion . In addition to that the
provision of increased damping provides increased energy dissipation thus
further reducing the response.
