1 Contributions of Seismic Isolation to Earthquake- Resilient Communities Stephen Mahin Byron and Elvira Nishkian Professor of Structural Engineering Director, Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center University of California, Berkeley Open Seminar - JSSI 15th Anniversary International Symposium on Seismic Response Controlled Buildings for a Sustainable Society Seismic Performance Goals? Preserve Life Safety and Prevent Collapse

2 If collapse can be prevented, what level of damage is acceptable? Local Failure Buckled Bars Fractured Spiral Fractured Bar Fracture Yielded and buckled members Permanent Offset Moderate damage may mean a building looses its functionality Natural disasters cause widespread moderate damage Such damage can have substantial long-lasting social, economic and cultural impacts on a city.

3 Sustainable development UN Brundtland Commission meet needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs! Selection of materials;! Use of recycled materials;! Consideration of material re-use and disassembly for reuse;! Energy efficiency! Durability and longevity! Reparability! More efficient and lower impact construction;! More efficient design methods, and more efficient structural systems and layouts;! Integration of structural forms to help achieve the needs of other disciplines;! Reducing the impacts of abnormal events such earthquakes by minimizing the need for repair and disruption of service. Resilient Beyond Safety: Issues for Sustainable and Earthquake-Resilient Structures In Earthquake Engineering, our future challenge is to develop new or improved structures that:! protect public safety, and are! economical, but that! can be constructed quickly with minimal disruption to the public and to the environment, and! can withstand strong earthquake ground shaking (and other hazards) safely, with little disruption or cost associated with post-earthquake inspections and repairs. Such approaches are consistent with, and supportive of, emerging trends related to sustainable development and green design. Recycle
