Abstract

Most earthquake events in developing countries such as Indonesia often result in the destruction of infrastructure, especially residential buildings. In general, residential buildings are not well designed for earthquakes due to limited people resources. In the last few years, the Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system has been widely researched. GSI system is one of the feasible solutions for residential buildings because of its effectiveness in reducing building response due to earthquakes. GSI system is also economically and environmentally friendly because it utilizes recycled rubber waste mixed with sand (RSM) to improve the flexibility and damping properties of the GSI system. A comparative study was performed between a pin-based system, SSI system, and GSI-RSM system for a 1-story masonry wall structure due to earthquake. The result shows that the GSI-RSM system is effective in reducing acceleration response and damage that occurred in the structure.
