报告简介 (Outline): The application of seismic isolation for new buildings is quite easy and almost always possible. The real challenge of seismic isolation is protection of existing buildings, especially in countries where maintenance of old structures is an important issue. The design issues for the application of base isolation in the retrofit of existing buildings are first discussed for the two cases of reinforced concrete and masonry buildings. These refer to the positioning of the isolation devices in plan and elevation and the transferring of the vertical actions during the building phases. Then the most relevant applications in Italy for existing reinforced concrete and masonry buildings are also shown. Finally, an isolation system is presented, which was set up for cultural heritage structures but is very suitable also for industrial and high risk plants.
