Comparative Study Of Base-Isolated And Fixed-Base Buildings Using A Damage/Cost Approach, Martin Lashgari
Department of Construction Engineering and Management: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
High performance base-isolated buildings are designed with a higher level of safety than the conventional fixed-base buildings under the current codes. As a sustainable development, these buildings have considerably lower social and economic impacts in a major event. The main factor limiting the extensive use of such systems is the higher initial construction costs. The cost estimations based on only initial investment may have concluded misleading results as the performance of those systems in earthquakes are different. Therefore, an evaluation considering initial costs and future repair costs due to damages from earthquakes gives a better scope for selection of an …
