Abstract:
One of the most dangerous natural hazard is earthquake. The damages caused by earthquakes are uncountable. The occurrence of earthquake causes loss of lives and damages to manmade structures. One of the most widely accepted solution for reducing the damages caused by earthquake on Civil Engineering structures is Base isolation. Among the wide variety of base isolation systems, Lead rubber bearing plays an important role. The performance of lead rubber bearing during earthquake is evaluated by the finite element modelling and non-linear analysis in ANSYS workbench 17.0 in this study. The behaviour of lead rubber bearing is compared with that of laminated rubber bearing.
