The research purpose is to improve the functional maintenance performance of elevators during earthquakes. The study has been examined on both experimental and analytical studies. A five-story building model and an analytical model of the seismically isolated elevatorway were constructed and response analysis was conducted. As a result, the results showed that the response acceleration and displacement of the isolated hoistway were reduced, and it was considered that the seismic function maintenance performance of the isolated hoistway would be maintained if the clearance between the building and the hoistway was sufficient. A test specimen was created based on the analytical parameters. Shaking table tests were conducted using the test specimens. The effectiveness of the isolated hoistway is examined from shaking table experiments as well as analysis.
