Abstract The need for design of structures to resist earthquake is to protect the human lives, infrastructures, economy and important buildings such as hospitals, military bases, etc. from the damaging effects of earthquake and reduce the hazards after seismic event. Normally seismic design of structures is based on the method of increasing the resistance capacity of structures against earthquake by using shear walls, braced frames and moment resistance frames. However, these methods are often results in high floor acceleration and inter storey drift for stiff and flexible buildings in order to minimize inter-storey drift and reduce floor acceleration the concept of base isolation is increasingly being adopted. In the present study, a T shape, G+8 storey RCC structures has been designed and analyzed for fixed and isolated base, base isolator used in this study is lead rubber bearing[LRB], analysis and design is performed in accordance with IS standards for seismic design and ETABS 2016 software using Response spectrum method of analysis. Results obtained from analysis of fixed and isolated base models clearly shows that, modal period increases for isolated base building, storey drift decreases for BI building and displacement is more for isolated base compare to fixed base model because of flexibility of base isolated building.

Key Words: Earthquake, fixed base, isolated base, lead rubber bearing(LRB), response spectrum, storey drift, modal period.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Earthquake generates lateral forces on the buildings and should be considered during the design of structures to resist earthquake. The purpose of the design of structures to resist earthquake is to protect human lives, economy

    loses and important buildings form the damaging effect of earthquake. Base isolation is a technique

    that helps in increasing the earthquake resistance capacity of the structure. BI separates super structure from substructure and decouple the structure from horizontal ground motion induced by earthquake and provides stiff vertical components to the base of superstructure in contact with the substructure (foundation). It results in providing more flexibility to the structure as it increases displacement and modal periods and decrease in the storey drift and base shear of the building. The building under study in this paper is a RCC beam-column framed, hospital building with number stories G+8 located in seismic zone 5. The basic wind speed is 47m/sec as per IS 875 part 3. Material used are M30 grade concrete and HYSD 500 grade steel.

    ETABS 2016 is used for analysis and design of frame. A typical floor plan is shown in figure 1 with a 3D view of the building in figure 2.

    II. DESIGN OF LEAD RUBBER BEARING(LRB)

    Lead rubber bearing are made up of a standard elastomeric

    laminated rubber bearing the rubber compound can be 80

    natural or chloroprene rubber. The shape can be round or

    rectangular. The calculations for the design of LRB is 60

    outlined in table2, which has been performed as per the 40

    provisions of UBC-97.

    3. CONCLUSION

  1. Applying base isolation to a structure reduces the base shear of the building which results in reducing the earthquake effects on the structure.

  2. The modal periods of the structure with LRB base isolation is more than the structure with fixed base.

  3. Displacement of each storey with LRB base isolation is increased which results in high ductility and flexibility to a structure.

  4. Storey drift in each storey decreases for base isolated compare to fixed building which results in an increase in storey drift.

  5. Using base isolation systems increases the structural stability which results in reducing the earthquake effects on the structure.
