We propose a numerical technique for the seismic response analysis of isolated buildings on sliding bearings. The novelties of the technique is two capabilities : first, to calculate exactly the responses in the stick phase from the equations of motion with the identical degrees of freedom to those of the sliding phase, and second, to determine the phase transition time from the sliding phase to the stick phase without iterative schemes and calculate the responses in the transition. We verify the proposed technique by comparing with the numerical results of another method and by reproducing the shaking table experiment of a sliding structure.
