Seismic Response of the Asymmetric Structure Isolated by the Friction Sliding Bearings

The seismic response of the asymmetric structure isolated by the friction sliding bearings is carried out. The eccentricity and the torsional stiffness of superstructure are taken into account. The eccentricity and the torsional stiffness of the superstructure have less effect on the horizontal response of the base-isolated structure, but these have significant impact on the displacement at the corner of the superstructure and the rotational response of the structure.
