In this work the performance of U-Shaped Steel Isolator is evaluated for a 5-story building subjected to seismic and blast vibrations. The structure is analysed using SAP 2000 software and a nonlinear time history analysis is carried out. The effectiveness of using base isolation is studied by comparing the structural responses of the building with isolator and without isolator and noticeable difference was observed. As the U-Shaped isolator absorbs the energy in all directions, it effectively controls the structural responses. In this study, the building is subjected to four different seismic and four different blast induced ground motions. It was observed that by the use of supplementary energy device there is reduction in top story acceleration, base shear and less deformation in the structure. This study concludes that the use of isolator has been effective in minimizing structural responses.
