Performance-based design of seismic isolated buildings considering multiple performance objectives
Troy A. Morgan and Stephen A. Mahin

 
Abstract
    In the past 20 years, seismic isolation has see a variety of applications in design of structures to mitigate seismic hazard. In particular, isolation has been seen as a means of achieving enhanced seismic performance objectives, such as those for hospitals, critical emergency response facilities, mass electronic data storage centers, and similar buildings whose functionality following a major seismic event is either critical to the public
 
Key Words
    seismic isolation; performance-based design; inter-story drift; floor spectra.
