Seismic isolation can be an effective strategy to protect critical facilities including Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) from the damaging effects of horizontal earthquake ground shaking. For critical facilities, the isolation system should demonstrate a high-confidence of low-probability of failure at the design level and the load carrying capacities should be maintained under beyond design earthquake shaking (BDBE). Experimental evaluation of seismic isolation bearings is important to fully understand their behavior and capacity for reliable performance. Safety mechanisms such as a stop can be imposed to prevent excessive displacement of the isolation system under BDBE, however, this raises concerns for detrimental effects of pounding against ...
