The article discusses the most suitable base
isolation bearings from the author's point of view for use in the buildings of
old mosques in Syria, which are designed to protect such buildings from the
effects of earthquakes that can occur at any time. Especially since many of
such buildings have an architectural and cultural value, and are included in
the world heritage list of UNESCO. Elastomeric
bearings with high energy dissipation capacity (HDRB), elastomeric bearings
with lead cores (LDRB), single friction pendulum, double friction pendulum and
triple friction pendulum sliding (FPS) bearings are considered. What they
consist of, their characteristics. Three, mosques in Syria that are of a great
value from the point of view of architecture and cultural heritage are listed
and described, and conclusions are drawn. Used Books:
