pose a significant threat due to their unpredictability and destructive impact.
Structural resilience against seismic forces has been extensively researched,
with base isolation emerging as a widely adopted technique. This study
evaluates the effectiveness of seismic isolation in buildings with varying
heights and lateral dimensions. Using High Damping Rubber Bearings (HDRB), 27
structural models with different height-to-depth ratios and story counts (5 to
15) are analysed in SAP2000 through Response Spectrum Analysis. Key seismic
parameters—including natural time period, base shear, storey displacement, and
joint acceleration—are compared between base-isolated and fixed-base
structures. The findings provide insights into the influence of building
geometry on isolation efficiency, contributing to improved seismic design
strategies.
