Lately there has been a growing interest of the country’s engineers to introduction of seismic isolation systems when constructing buildings in seismic areas. One of the most popular methods of seismic isolation is arrangement of metal-rubber supports (MRS) from high-damping rubber within a structure. The paper presents design methods for buildings using MRS and studies the response of such buildings to seismic loads.
