Seismic base isolation by use of a telescoping stepping mechanism.
A new base isolation mechanism corresponding to a variance of the stepping A shaped frame is proposed and its seismic performance is investigated numerically for strong ground accelerations with peak values in the range from 0.5 to 1 g. In its simplest two dimensional form, the system consists of a...
