Experimental and Analytical Studies of Structures Seismically Isolated with an Uplift-Restraint Isolation System

by Panayiotis C. Roussis and Michael C. Constantinou

This report describes the development of a novel uplift-prevention Friction Pendulum isolator called the XY-FP. A large body of additional information, which is not included in the printed report, is available from this site. The appendices are provided below in PDF format.

These files are also available via ftp.
