Performance of Base-Isolated RC School Building under Blast Loading

It is known that bomb-laden vehicles target many buildings as a result of terrorist activities. The effects such attacks must be reduced and structures protected against blast effects. In high seismic hazard regions, are designed to earthquake resistant. One the methods used dampen on base isolation. Base isolation effective in distributing loads structure, similar loading. this study, distribution structure will evaluated. scope study encompasses numerical estimation explosive at different distances according material carrying capacity various their structures. Linear nonlinear analysis were compare dynamic behaviour school with without isolators. Turkish Building Earthquake Code (2018), which includes maximum loads, was design Numerical performed using SAP2000 software based finite element method. applied floors building direct integration method time domain. FEMA standards determine performance evaluated comparison results. As it concluded isolators efficient reducing an explosion certain these affect shelter walls.
