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 Friction Pendulum System (FPS). It is necessary to extensively examine the response of different LRB isolators—by combining them with re-centering and damping properties for isolated steel frame buildings experiencing several NF ground motions. The present research uses comparative-descriptive methodology and application in terms of objectives. The data needed for the study were collected using library references and through reviewing related studies conducted in the past in the same field.
Results of the current comparative investigation indicated significant reductions in the storey drift, shear, and acceleration and increment in the storey displacement. According to the findings of the current study, base isolators provide flexibility to massive structures against earthquakes. These structures are situated on rigid soils. Moreover, base isolation was found to be the most effective in controlling the response of the structures during earthquakes. Finally, shear, storey drift, and storey displacement reduce due to the use of base isolators as compared to the fixed-base structure.
