Assessment of geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) as a mitigation technique for seismic hazard events

from Geosciences

Assessment of geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) as a mitigation technique for seismic hazard events Geosciences Geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) has emerged as a potential technique to mitigate the effects of earthquakes, with many applications to structural configurations, such as bridges and buildings. It consists of absorbing the seismic energy from the soil to the superstructure by interposing a superficial soil layer in order to reduce the accelerations that filter from the soil to the structure.
