Development of Low-rise Over-track Buildings Using Thick Laminate Rubber Seismic Isolation Materials
Applying seismic isolation technologies to over-track buildings enables a reduction of lower structures accompanying reduced seismic response. Reduction of such structures is likely to allow cuts in construction time and costs of those buildings that face severe constraints in terms of design and construction. Earlier recovery after a disaster can also result from using seismic isolation to control the area where damage occurs. However, in achieving seismic isolation of over-track buildings, technical issues arose; in order to overcome these, a new seismic isolation frame form was developed. Safety of the building during earthquakes was verified through trail design and analysis of seismic isolation by the conceived frame form, using a model that simulates a low-rise over-track building. Furthermore, the use of thick laminate rubber seismic isolation material with vibration reduction performance to improve comfort in the over-track space was confirmed in the analysis.
