The papers in this publication cover a wide range of subjects: reviews of the current state of the art practice and regulations of seismic isolation; analyses of measured and predicted isolated-structure response to real and hypothetical earthquake; the development, testing, and quality control of isolators; the determination of seismic loadings for the design and analysis of isolated structures; and the application of isolation for seismic protection of civil structures, industrial facilities, and nuclear power plants. As an indication of the increasing acceptance of seismic isolation in the building industry, a large number of applications to buildings appear in this publication. There are also a few papers describing new isolation system designs. The experiences and information described in this publication about well-established isolation system designs will guide the future development of the new systems. The editors believe that seismic isolation is an emerging technology which has not yet realized its` full potential. Through such exchanges, new ideas and new consensus will form to advance the state of the technology. Papers have been processed separately for inclusion on the data base.
