Abstract
It has been recognized that the isolated building is the effective against seismic force. To estimate accurately the response about not only the horizontal but also the vertical direction are very important when the isolated building is designed. In this paper, the horizontal and vertical response characteristics of the high-rise and the middle-rise isolated buildings are investigated by using the observed data. On the basis of these investigation results, two types of three-dimensional analysis models are prepared for each isolated building and the accuracies of both analysis models are demonstrated by comparing with the earthquake-induced response obtained from the observed data.
