Abstract
This paper presents a study for the development and qualification of a practical low-cost seismic isolation system for lightweight residential construction. The study concludes that single concave rolling isolators cast in high strength concrete with a deformable steel-reinforced plastic rolling ball and a displacement restraint system represent a promising isolation system. A full size isolator suitable for application to typical reinforced concrete houses in Turkey was built and tested. The vertical stiffness, creep characteristics under gravity load and the lateral force–displacement characteristics have been studied. Models for behavior have been developed and validated. These models are useful for response history analysis in commonly available commercial and open source analysis software.
