Abstract
Structures can be exposed to long-term and strong earthquake excitations. Structures with classical isolation systems and structures without isolation systems may be damaged by the long-term earthquake excitations. Seismic isolation systems have been developed to protect the structure against these excitations. State-of-the-art Structural Seismic Isolation System (SSIS) developed against strong and long-term earthquake excitations is presented.
