Experimental evaluation of piecewise exact solution for predicting seismic responses of spherical sliding type isolated structures.

The use of base isolation for enhancing seismic resistibility has been proven as an efficient method in experimental and theoretical studies. It is usual to insert a flexible device in the horizontal direction to permit the most of relative deformation of a structure at this level. Because the rigid...
