EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE FORCE-BEARING PERFORMANCE OF MASONRY STRUCTURES WITH A MARBLE-GRAPHITE SLIDE SEISMIC ISOLATOR AT THE FOUNDATION

Experimental Study on the Force-Bearing Performance of Masonry Structures with a Marble-Graphite Slide Seismic Isolator at the Foundation

As part of the search for a seismic isolator for low-rise buildings, this paper proposes a marble-graphite slide seismic isolation system composed of marble-graphite slides, an upper foundation beam, the lower counterpart of the upper beam, and the corresponding stop blocks, with the stop blocks consisting of restrictive screws, positioning plates,
