Deprem yalıtımlı binalar için eşdeğer doğrusal analiz yönteminin doğruluğunun değerlendirilmesi

Earthquakes have been the leading cause of loss of lives and properties since the beginning of human history. After major earthquakes, we see that even the buildings constructed using modern engineering solutions suffer severe damage or even collapse. Seismic base isolation systems are used to minimize earthquake-induced damage. This thesis focuses on evaluating the accuracy of the equivalent linear analysis method in the analysis of seismic base-isolated buildings. In order to do that, certain buildings with different story numbers, widths, and isolator parameters were analyzed by using a set of ground motions selected for different soil properties, and results were compared with the results obtained from the equivalent linear analysis method.
