The modern seismic codes have focused on the upgrade of the structural performance of the new and existing structures. However, in many cases, it is preferable to mitigate the effects of earthquakes by reducing the induced loads in the structures using seismic isolation and response control devices. The limited expertise in the selection and design of the appropriate system for new and existing structures is the main challenge for the extensive use of seismic isolation and response control systems in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis document aims to provide a practical guide by presenting a collection of the most commonly used seismic isolation and response control systems and a critical evaluation of the main characteristics of these systems. Comparisons of the key parameters of the design processes for new buildings with seismic isolation are presented, while the application of seismic isolation systems and response control systems for the retrofitting of existing structures is also examined, followed by various case studies from Greece, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Turkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e International Association for Bridge and Stru\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783857481802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.30d","brand":"Andreas Lampropoulos,Eftychia Apostolidi,Stephanos Dritsos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679525859509,"sku":"9783857481802","price":58.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/seismic-isolation-and-response-control-9783857481802","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
