Abstract

The following article’s purpose is to study the behavior of base-isolated structures. In order to estimate that an SDOF (Single Degree of Freedom) base-isolated structure will be analyzed. The analysis of the structure will be done using numerical analysis methods. Besides the results provided by the analysis of the structure, this article can serve as an important collection of the design provisions for base isolated structures presented in the Romanian and European Building Codes for earthquake resistance.
