CHAPTER 4 CONCLUSION

8.1 Conclusions
In the entire project work more concentration is given on the effectiveness of base
isolated structure as compared to conventional fixed base structure. The work begins with
the introduction of base isolation in structure as regards to its purpose, concept and basic
element of practical base isolator
On the basis of the above study the following conclusions are drawn.
Base Isolation lengthens the Time eriod of the structure, and thus reduces the
pseudo!acceleration for this mode "#or the design spectrum considered$, as
compared to non!isolated structure.
Thus the %arth&uake induced forces in the structure get reduced.
'lso it has been observed that there is around ()* reduction in base shear of
+,, -tructure of isolated structure compared to non!isolated structure.
The time period of the isolated structure reduces with increase of hori.ontal
stiffness of structure
In Time /istory analysis "0sing %lcentro Time /istory$ as per 1ewmark2s Beta
method it is observed that the displacement of structure "tower drift$ is Increases
due to isolation also it observed that the displacement is slightly more when
isolators are provided at base of staging.
The displacement of sloshing mode water is increases when isolator is at base of
staging but it reduces when isolator is provided at top of staging
Base isolation reduce shear force occur during the shaking of ground.
-tone method for existing and proposed structures is discussed in this thesis to
prevent the structure from earth&uake, which are helpful to minimi.e the damage to the
structure.
's well as the people should give being in the countries where literacy level is
less for disaster management especially in case of earth&uake to minimi.e loss and lives.
