Restoring capability of bilinear hysteretic seismic isolation systems.

The restoring capability (or re-centering capability) is identified by the current design codes as a fundamental feature of seismic isolation systems. In this paper, the restoring capability of bilinear hysteretic or frictional seismic isolation systems is investigated in some detail. Certain energy...
