Performance-based design of seismic isolated buildings considering multiple performance objectives

Troy A. Morgan , Stephen A. Mahin

Abstract

In the past 20 years, seismic isolation has see a variety of applications in design of structures to mitigate seismic hazard. In particular, isolation has been seen as a means of achieving enhanced seismic performance objectives, such as those for hospitals, critical emergency response facilities, mass electronic data storage centers, and similar buildings whose functionality following a major seismic event is either critical to the public

Key Words
