ABSTRACT
The study of this project has proposed “Base Isolation” which is important class of seismic protective system or
device which has mechanical characteristics of being flexible horizontal direction is follow in succession.
Elastomeric base isolation and sliding base isolation are basically used devices. The proposed study in base
isolation system protecting from vibrating effect of a earthquakes introduce some type of support that isolate it
from shaking ground. Base isolation also known as seismic base isolation or base isolation system, is one of the
most popular means of protecting a structure against earthquake force. In some case application of base
isolation can raise both a structure’s seismic performance and its seismic sustainability considerably.
I. INTRODUCTION
The structural devastation from earthquakes becomes unpredicted resulting to damages of civil structures,
leads to loss of live property. Base isolation is one of the effective techniques which give better result in seismic
hazard mitigation less than earthquakes excitation particularly in building structure, Highway Bridge and water
tanks etc. Every structure system design to have seismic capacity is complex function of strength, stiffness and
deformation.
II. METHODOLOGY
The research methods used to achieve the objectives of the thesis are based on the following steps as shown.
•Literature review of various studies of base isolation.
•To identify the current appreciation and awareness of the concept in the real-life market.
•Study and analysis of requirements.
•To study the approach from planning to execution.
•Application and advantages of ETAB software.
Various techniques of base isolation are studied.

Comparison of results of residential structures provided with base isolation

and without base isolation using (ETAB) software.

Design and analysis of 9-storey building using ETAB software provided

with base isolation of high density rubber.
III. MODELING AND ANALYSIS
Buildings are places of dwelling and work. Buildings occupy people and for a good. Duration of time The
destruction of buildings in an earthquake can result in both heavy. Causalities and economic damage, which is
evident from previous such catastrophic events so these must be many of the structures that require
earthquake protection. In this section, we analyze simple building in 2D plane as shear type building model
subjected to understand it. Dynamic responses when subjected to earthquake excitation. It should be
emphasized that the. Accuracy of a solution of any problem depends upon how closely the model simulates the.

Exact behaviour of a real-life structure However, any assumption to simplify the complex. Models to decrease
the computational cost and time to obtain sufficiently accurate results are welcome.
Problem Statement
G+2, G+4, G+6, G+8 storied buildings are modeled using conventional beams, columns & slabs. These buildings
were given square geometry with plan dimensions of 25m x 25m. They are loaded with Dead, Live and Seismic
Forces (according to IS: 1893(Part-1)-2002). These models are then analyzed using response spectrum method
for earthquake zone V of India (Zone Factor = 0.36). The details of the modeled building are listed below.
Importance Factor (I) =1. The performance of the models is recorded through ETABS to present a brief idea
about the role of base isolation in protecting the structure against earthquake hazards.

V. CONCLUSION
India suffers from Earthquake Zones 4 and Zones 5 which are under the area of the Gujarat and Kashmir, Ran of
Kutch and the Himalayas. The need of base isolation in these parts of India to protect the building and hospital
and some historic building and monument for which India is famous for. The various techniques of the base
isolation are analysed for protecting the structure from the huge amounts of damage which may cost the lost of
life as well. The most efficient method is found to be Lead Rubber Bearing which can reduce the risk of life and
economy. The structure with and without the base isolation having storeys-2,4,6&8 is analysed and is
compared on the basis of maximum displacement, maximum drift, fundamental time period and base shear and
is illsutrated in the form of chart below:
The 8-storey building with base isolation having the rubber desnity higher is analysed and designed for the
zone 5 which provides stability to the structure in the high earthquake prone zones and resist the seismic effect
on the structure.
