Assessment of Base-Isolated Nuclear Structures for Design and Beyond-Design Basis Earthquake Shaking
Keywords: Nuclear power plants (NPP). Base isolation. Seismic isolation systems. ASCE 43-05. Damage. Design level earthquakes. Moats. Gravity loads. Seismic loads ...
Base isolation is a method for moderating the effects of earthquakes on buildings. Isolator devices (either elastic or sliding) are installed between the foundation and the building superstructure.
Much of the world's population lives and works in seismically active areas, with little protection from earthquakes. Fortunately, engineers have found that building with rubber is a surprisingly ...
