Base isolation systems are among the most successful and widely applied methods of mitigating structural vibration and damage during seismic events. These systems have been installed in numerous full-scale structures all around. There are three principal types of base isolators: Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB), High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB), and Fri...
