Numerical Assessment of the Seismic Performance of a Lead-Rubber Base-Isolated Low-Rise RC Frame under Site-Specific Earthquake Excitations
Quetta lies in one of Pakistan's most seismically active regions, where the Building Code of Pakistan (BCP-2007) assigns a design ground acceleration of 0.32 g and UBC-97 Seismic Zone 4 is adopted as the design basis. Despite this hazard, location-specific research on seismic isolation for the local building stock rema...
