Experimental and Analytical Studies of Base Isolation Applications for Low-CostHousing

摘要

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has, over the pastfive years, sponsored a research program for the development of low-cost natural rubber isolation systems for the seismic protection of public housing in developing countries. The program has led to demonstration buildings in China and Indonesia. The report describes experimental and analytical studies carried out as part of the design and construction of the Indonesian demostration building.
