Sliding Isolation Systems: Historical Review, Modeling Techniques, and the Contemporary Trends

Base isolation techniques have emerged as the most effective seismic damage mitigation strategies. Several types of aseismic devices for base been invented, studied, and used. Out several systems, sliding systems are popular due to their operational simplicity ease manufacturing. This article discusses historical development passive such pure friction pendulum isolators with other surface geometries. Moreover, multiple behavior well effectiveness using complementary standalone examined. Furthermore, explored various modeling adopted base-isolated single multi-degree freedom building structures. Special attention has given available complex phenomena non-sliding phases bearings. The discussion is further extended in contemporary areas isolation, active hybrid systems. Although a significant amount research carried out area system still not lost its appeal adaptability
