Influence of base isolation on the response of structures to earthquakes

In this thesis, the seismic analysis of base isolated structures is carried out using a base coordinate relative to the inertial space that renders absolute dynamic response, which is fundamental in assessing base isolation. Moreover, the structure is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam cantilevered...
