Link beam and sliding plates is used to isolate structure against lateral base shear of the foundation due earthquake forces, link element made from steel wide flange act as a metallic damper, combined with become isolation. Analysis Etabs program results in significant differences internal moment, axial forces between structures that using isolation those without, well for drift deformation st...

This paper analyzes and compares the responses of a two-storied steel structure to 1994 Northridge earthquake in California. Response modal nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis was especially used on with fixed-base base-isolated systems show realistic behavior structure. Intuitively, best choice for seismic isolation technique is use flexible element, or an isolator, at structure’s base, wh...
