چکیده
An experimental program has been completed recently to evaluate the long-term performance of the seismic isolation bearings manufactured for the Foothill Communities Law and Justice Center. Two pairs of full-size bearings were tested — one was removed from the building approximately 12 years after installation, and the other pair was from the original set of 4 prototype bearings. This article summarizes the tests of the bearings removed from the building, which indicate that while there are minor differences from the original properties, the isolation system should be expected to perform as designed in the case of a strong earthquake.
