A fundamental study on the earthquake response reduction of base‐isolated foundation backfilled using an improved compound geomaterial

Abstract This study addresses the development of a seismic‐isolated foundation embedded with improved soil to reduce the response of a superstructure. The material properties of the new improved composite soil are investigated by performing laboratory tests. Subsequently, the response behaviors of t...
