Popis: Destructive earthquakes may happen anytime anywhere at. Many lives and property were lost, and public traffic and life-lines suffered from damages in the past seismic events. Seismic isolation technology has gained popularity in the recent decade as one of the measures fo+r seismic protection of structures, and elastomeric isolators are the essential devices which construct seismic isolation systems. In this paper, principle of seismic isolation, actual records obtained in seismic-isolated structures, characteristics and requirements of isolators, basic issues of rubber materials and aging properties, and recent activity regarding development of ISO standards are introduced.
