ABSTRACT
Seismic base isolation is a passive way of achieving seismic response control by introducing
isolators between foundation and super structure. Isolator performs three functions: horizontal
flexibility, energy dissipation and rigidity against normal lateral loads. Lead Rubber bearing isolators
performs these functions efficiently. By reducing the horizontal stiffness of the system, it increases
the time period of the structure and decreases the spectral acceleration of the structure. The
superstructure acts like a rigid body, thus inter storey drift is reduced. Such type of isolators are used
in practice in India, yet a proper design procedure based on IS code is unavailable. The paper
presents design procedure for LRB adopting the procedure of IS 1893:2002 (Part-1) for earthquake
resistant design of buildings. The design procedure requires different input parameters like
fundamental period and damping of the fixed base structure, axial load on the column, seismic zone,
type of soil and shore hardness of rubber. Using this methodology, case study has been done using
SAP2000. Building displacement, acceleration and inter-storey drift are compared for model with
and without base isolator. Comparative study of linear and non-linear base isolators has also been
carried out. Linear and non-linear time history analysis has been done using El Centro earthquake.

I. INTRODUCTION
The seismic isolation system protects the structure from the damaging action of earthquake
by decoupling. The superstructure is partially decoupled from the horizontal component of
earthquake ground motion by interposing a layer with low horizontal stiffness and high damping

characteristics. Seismic protection by base isolation is mainly used for hospitals, emergency
communication centers, fire stations, traffic management centers, historical buildings and other
buildings of importance. [1]Performance of the base isolated buildings in different parts of the world
during earthquakes in the recent past established that the base isolated technology is a viable
alternative to the conventional earthquake resistant design of a large category of buildings.
The essential concept is towards lengthening the period of the structure such that the spectral
acceleration is reduced. The super-structure essentially acts like a rigid body, thus reducing the inter-
storey drift. When the period is increased, pseudo-acceleration is decreased and hence the force in
the structure gets reduced (Figure 1[2]). However, the displacement of the system increases
drastically.
[3]Isolation systems used for seismic protection of buildings and bridges are mainly
elastomeric isolation systems or sliding isolation systems. Flexibility in elastomeric isolation systems
is provided by elastomeric bearings (laminated rubber bearings reinforced with steel plates). Energy-
dissipation capacity is provided by inherent damping capacity of the rubber, as in high-damping
elastomeric bearings. A typical low damping natural rubber bearing isolator is shown in Figure 2[4].

Where ∆ = Length of deformation
t=thickness of the isolator
γ is assumed to be 100% in this analysis.
Therefore, ∆= � �� is the spectral displacement of the structure as per IS 1893-2002 Part I. We assume that the
isolator gets deformed keeping the structure intact. Hence the maximum displacement of isolator

Therefore t= ��ω2

C. Layering of Isolator
To keep the ratio of the horizontal and vertical stiffness equal for the different isolator sets, a
parameter called Shape factor, S is introduced, which is a dimensionless measure of the aspect ratio
of the single layer of the elastomer. For a single pad in the form of a complete circle, the
compression modulus EC is given by
,- ≈ 6/�+ [15]
Also,
�0 = 12�� [16] Considering Eq (8) and Eq(16), the following relation can be obtained.
Ec

From Eq(6),

Or, it can be further modified as
14� = 56�57� [19] Therefore Eq(15) can be re-written as,
6S2=

It is assumed that 89 = 20 8�
Therefore, � ≈ 10
� = Loaded area Force free area
For circular isolator,
� = Cross section area

� = :;�/(:;� [21]
� = ;(� [22] Therefore,
t= D

The above equation shows that by varying the number of sandwich layer, quite a large
variation in vertical stiffness of the individual isolator element could be achieved.

III. CASE STUDY
A. Description of the structure analysed
The structure analysed is a two bay three storied reinforced concrete framed structure
consisting of three frames (Frame-1 to Frame-3). The centre to centre distance between the columns
is 3000mm and the height of each storey is 3600mm. The column section is of 300mm X 400mm
size consisting of two 16mm bars at top and bottom. The beam section is also of 300mm X 400mm
size consisting of two 12mm bars on either side.
Fig 4. Elevation and plan view of the frame
Column has 8mm diameter ties spaced at 150mm centres and beam has 8mm diameter two
legged stirrups at 100mm centres. The slab is 150mm thick with 12mm bars at 200mm centres with
reinforcement for support moment provided separately. Figure 4 shows the elevation and typical plan
view of the frame tested for verification of time history analysis methodology.
B. Design of base isolator
Models were created in SAP 2000 without base isolator (Figure 5), with linear base isolator
and with non-linear base isolator. Dead load analysis was done for the self weight of the system and
axial load acting on each column was obtained (Table 1). The structure was assumed to be in Zone
V, built on soft soil. The rubber used for the isolator is assumed to have a shear modulus of
0.35MPa.

D. Non-linear time history analysis
The dissipation of kinetic energy during seismic ground motions put into the conventional
fixed base structures takes place by internal damping, friction damping at the supports, and radiation
damping trough the base and side soils. In base isolated structures, additional damping should be
provided wherever necessary. One of the effective means of providing a substantial level of damping
is through hysteretic energy dissipation.
The typical hysteresis loop of a laminated rubber bearing can be modelled as bilinear i.e., the
nonlinearity in the bearing is assumed to be bilinear as shown in the figure 13. The parameters d1,
F1, d2, and F2 are defined in the bilinear curve as the yield displacement, yield force, ultimate
displacement and ultimate force respectively.
Fig 12. Bilinear hysteresis loop model
The hysteretic behaviour of a laminated rubber bearing can also be modelled linear, by using
the effective stiffness Ke and the equivalent viscous damping coefficient ζe that depends on the
ultimate displacement d2 and on the corresponding force F2 of the bilinear system. The linearization
of the bilinear model can be made by using the Pre-yield stiffness (K), Post-yield stiffness (Ke) and
the Ratio of pre-yield and post-yield stiffness (α). The effective stiffness from the bilinear model is
calculated as equation 24
�= = >��� [24]
The main parameter for the bilinear model is the effective stiffness i.e., the post yield
stiffness value of the isolator and the additional damping value given by the hysteresis loop model.
The formulation for the values of the effective stiffness and the additional damping is given below in
equation 25.
?+ = ?@ + B� (C+ − C@) [25] = �C@ + B� (C+ − C@)
= �C@[ 1 + B(E − 1)] [26]
By simplifying and solving further,
KG = Hμ
[ 1 + α(μ− 1)] [27]
Finally,
KG = K[ α + I@Jαμ
K] [28]
Additional damping provided by the hysteresis area,

The additional damping in terms of the effective stiffness is,
ζe = +: [ (@JP)(QJ@)Q� RRS] [31]
The additional damping incorporated in the system and the effective stiffness of the system
can be determined from the equations 28 and 31. The post yielding stiffness ratios (α) are assumed
to be 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 for the isolator. The yield strength of non-linear case (F1) is taken as one-
tenth, one-fifth, one-third, half and three-fourth of yield strength of linear case (F1, elastic). Fifteen
cases are considered in total. Bilinear hysteresis loops were obtained. A typical bilinear hysteresis
loop for α=0.05 and F1=0.1F1,elastic is shown in Figure 13.
Fig 13.Bilinear hysteresis loop for α=0.05 and F1=0.1F1,elastic
From the hysteresis loop, the additional damping and the effective stiffness values are
calculated. The values are given in Table 3.

IV RESULTS
• For the same soil condition and time period, thickness of the isolator decreases with increase
in damping percentage.
• Buildings situated on soft soil conditions require thicker isolator than those situated on hard
soil conditions, provided the required time period and damping are the same.
• For a particular value of axial load which is to be transferred, the diameter of the isolator
increases, as isolator with rubber of lesser value of shear modulus is used.
• The diameter of isolator decreases as the desired value of time period increases, provided the
soil condition and the rubber used are the same.
• Buildings situated on soft soils need isolator with bigger diameter than situated on hard rocky
soils.
• Both thickness and diameter increases as greater earthquake prone area is chosen.
Linear time history analysis shows that acceleration on the building decreases after the installation of
base isolator, whereas the building displacement increases after the installation. The maximum value
of acceleration on the building before the introduction of base isolator is 10.96m/s2 and after the
installation is 1.12m/s2. The value of building displacement is 40.68mm before installing isolator and
117.7mm after the installation. Inter-storey drift of building decreases but base displacement
increases after the installation of base isolation.
Results of non-linear analysis shows that a maximum additional damping of 25.04% was
obtained for post yielding stiffness ratio of 0.05 and non-linear yield strength taken as one-fifth of
linear yield strength.

On comparing linear and non-linear isolators, a maximum displacement reduction of 33.09% in the
case of post yielding stiffness ratio of 0.10 and non-linear yield strength taken as one-fifth of linear
yield strength was obtained, when the isolators are designed as non-linear.
V CONCLUSIONS
The guidelines for designing laminated rubber bearing (LRB) isolators are developed.
Different isolator parameters were compared with respect to fundamental period and damping of the
fixed base structure, axial load on the column, seismic zone, type of soil and shore hardness of
rubber.
Acceleration on building and displacement are altered by the installation of isolator.
Acceleration on the building decreases and displacement of the building increases, whereas inter-
storey drift decreases. The increase in displacement can be reduced if the isolator is designed as non-
linear. Additional damping is also introduced by the non-linear isolator.
