This study aims at research and development of the intelligent seismic isolation system using air bearings as isolation device and earthquake early warning as trigger. A superstructure is supported by air bearings installed at the foundation. Compressed air generated by compressor is gushed from the air bearing and the air film is generated between the air bearings and the ground surface. Then structure floats from ground and no seismic motion is transferred to superstructure. In this paper, principle of isolation and isolation performance that is investigated by numerical analysis are described.
