THESIS SYNOPSIS
FSP 8THSEM
AIM:
Objectives
Methodology:
Several standards and codes govern the use of advanced materials in seismic-
resilient building construction. Here are some of the key ones:
1. Building Codes: Building codes provide regulations and standards for the
design, construction, and maintenance of buildings to ensure their safety and
resilience against seismic events. In the United States, the International
Building Code (IBC) and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7
standards are commonly followed for seismic design requirements.
LITERATURE REVIEW :
Base Isolation Systems: These systems decouple the building from the ground
motion using isolation bearings or dampers, reducing the transfer of seismic
forces to the structure. Advanced materials such as lead-rubber bearings, sliding
bearings, and viscous dampers are used in base isolation systems to improve
their effectiveness in mitigating seismic damage.
