Governing equations
A three-storey building with a secondary system
attached to its top floor as shown in Figure 2 is used as
the structural and equipment model throughout this
study. In this section, the equations governing the
motions of the structure and various base isolation
systems are presented. The criteria used for motion transitions for different frictional base isolators are also
described.
R-FBI, P-F, and LRB systems For frictional base isolation systems the equations of motion for sliding and
nonsliding conditions are different. For the R-FBI
system, the governing equations during the sliding phase
are given as

is checked for determining the subsequent behavlour
The inequality given by equation (10) is the necessary
and sufficient condition for the reversal of the sliding
direcuon 4'5. That is, if the inequality holds, equations
( 1 ) - (3) continue to govern the subsequent sliding phase
motion with sg-"h(s) taking the sign of S at the moment of
transition. If the criterion given by equation (10) is not
satisfied, the structure will stick to its foundation and
equations (2), (3) and (6) apply. Under exceptional conditlons, S and ~- might become simultaneously zero. Such
a case corresponds to a smooth transition to the stick
condition. Equations ( 1 ) - (10) are quite general and also
cover the motions of structures with Pure Friction and
Laminated Rubber Bearing base isolation systems.
When the rubber element is absent (e.g. ~'0 = co = 0,
o~o = k0 = 0), these equations govern the motion of a
structure with a P-F base isolation system. Similarly,
when the frictional dement is absent (i.e. # = 0), equations (1)-(3) reduce to the governing equation of
motion for a structure with a LRB base isolation system.
In this latter case, no stick duration occurs and equation
(6) and the criteria for motion transitions, equations
(7) - (10) become irrelevant
It should be emphasized that here the LRB is modelled
as a linear spring-viscous damper system. Under high
strain or for high damping rubbe&~significant strainhardening occurs which has to be accounted for. Such
behaviour may be appropriately represented by a
nonlinear hysteretic model.

Figure 3 shows that the trend of variations of peak acceleranon of a light secondary system for the R-FBI
system is similar to that of the P-F system; however, its
magnitude is lower, by a factor of approximately two
Except for a sharp peak at f, = 1 Hz which corresponds
to the natural frequency of the Isolator, the spectral
amplitude for the EDF system varies between 0.3 to 1 g.
It is also noted that the acceleration spectrum for the
LRB system has a peak at f, = 0.5 Hz corresponding to
the natural frequency of the bearing used Away from
this peak, the spectral amphtude ~s about 0 15 to 0.3 g
which is the lowest among the isolation systems considered
Figure 4 shows the equipment deflection response
spectra for various base isolated structures and the fixedbase one, It is observed that the response spectrum of a
secondary system which Is attached to the fixed-base
structure contains a resonance peak at ~ts natural frequency of 3.33 Hz. Beyond this frequency the spectral
amplitude decreased rapidly Figure 4 also shows that,
the use of a base isolation system eliminates the
resonance peak and significantly reduces the peak
deflections of the secondary systems with f > 2 Hz. In
particular, for f~ > 2 Hz, the LRB system leads to the
lowest equipment deflection response spectra among the
isolators considered. For f, < 2 Hz, the LRB and the
EDF systems generate peak responses which are higher
than those for the fixed-base structure due to the tuning
with the natural frequency of the isolator. It should be
noted, that the natural frequencies of important nonstructural components are usually higher than those of
the structure. Thus, the use of base isolation systems
significantly reduces the peak deflection generated in the
secondary systems for the practical range of frequencies
Based on the results presented in this section, ~t may
be concluded that, for the E1 Centro earthquake ground
excitation, use of base isolation systems provides considerable protection for the secondary systems and the
structural contents. Among the isolators considered, the
LRB system leads to the lowest peak acceleration and
peak deflection responses in the secondary systems. The
frictional systems, however, are less effective m certain
high frequency ranges

the secondary system for several mass ratios for a structure with the R-FBI system. Features of these spectra are
similar to those noted for the P-F system. The spectra
for 7 = 0.0, 0.001 and 0.01 contain a number of peaks
in the frequency range of 3 to 15 Hz, and the interactions between the primary and the secondary systems
reduce the spectral amplitudes. For 7 = 0.1, the sharp
peaks are eliminated due to the interaction effects. A
comparison of Figures 5e and 5d shows that the
magnitude of peak acceleration experienced by a nonstructural component in a structure with the R-FBI
system is much lower than that for the P-F System.
The equipment acceleraUon response spectra for a
structure with the EDF base isolation system are shown
in Figure 5e. The spectra contain two sharp peaks, one
is at the natural frequency of the isolator ~ = 1 Hz),
and the other is at a frequency of about 6 Hz. As mass
ratio increases, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration near the sharp peaks decreases. Away from these
two peaks, the effects of primary-secondary interactions are relatively insignificant.
The influences of 3" on peak deflection responses of
the secondary system for various base isolation systems
and for the fixed-base structure are also studied and the
results are presented in Figure 6. Figure 6a shows the
equipment deflection response spectra for the fixed-base
structure. It is observed that the floor response spectra
(i.e., 3' = 0 . 0 ) contains a resonance peak at f~ =
3.33 Hz corresponding to the natural frequency of the
primary structure. Figure 6a also shows that the deflection response spectra for 3' = 0.001 and 0.01 are almost
~dentical to the non-interaction one, except for the frequency range near 3.33 Hz and 9.5 Hz. (The second fre-

1971 earthquake are studied. The resulting peak acceleration and deflection responses are presented in Figures
11 and 12, respectively. Figure 11a displays the equipment acceleration response spectra for different values
of 3' for the fixed-base structure. It is observed that the
non-interaction (3" = 0.0) spectrum has a very high
resonance peak (about 70 g) at f, = 3.33 Hz. The spectrum for 3, = 0.001 is essentially identical to the one for
3" = 0.0 except for the tuned and the near tuned conditions. For this mass ratio, the primary-secondary
interaction reduces the magnitude of the resonance peak
to about 60 g. When 3, increases to 0.01, the amplitude
of the resonance peak drops to about 30 g. For other frequency ranges, no significant effect is observed except
for f, close to 9.5 Hz which corresponds to the second
mode of vibration of the primary structure. By further
increasing 3' to 0.1, it is observed that the two tuning
peaks (at f~ = 3 33 Hz and 9.5 Hz) are totally
eliminated.
Figure 11b shows the eqmpment acceleration response
spectra for several values of 3' for the R-FBI system. It
is observed that, for light secondary systems, these spectra contain a number of sharp peaks for 3 < f, <
15 Hz. As 3" increases, the primary-secondary interactions reduce the peak acceleration responses over a wide
range of frequencies. For 3' = 0.1, this figure also shows
that the sharp peaks are essentially eliminated.
Figure 12a shows the effects of mass ratio on the
secondary system deflection response spectra for the
fixed-base structure. It is observed that the noninteraction case contains a resonance peak at
f, = 3.33 Hz with an amplitude of about 1 m. Furthermore, for a hght secondary system, the effect of interaction is not s|gnificant except for the tuned and the near
tuned frequencies. For 3' = 0.1, the resonance peak is
eliminated and the spectral magnitudes are shghtly
reduced for .f, > 2 Hz.
The effects of 3" on the equipment deflection response
spectra for a structure with the R-FBI system are shown
m Ftgure 12b. This figure shows that peak deflection
responses decrease with an increase in 3' for f, > 2 Hz.

Conclusions
A study of peak responses of secondary systems attached
to a multi-storey structure with various base isolation
systems under different ground excitations has been
carried out The primary-secondary interactions are
included in the analysis and the resulting equipment
response spectra for different base-isolated structures
are compared with those for the fixed-base one under a
variety of conditions. Effects of damping of the secondary system on their peak responses for a structure with
a frictional base isolation system are also studied. Based
on the presented results, the following conclusions may
be drawn
