Abstract – Normal buildings are designed for 8-14% of the
force total force experience. Therefore, design against
earthquake effect is called as earthquake-resistant design and
not earthquake-proof design. Earthquake design requires the
structure to remain elastic or to undergo inelastic behavior,
but wind design requires only elastic behavior in the entire
range of displacement. In this review paper, we have studied
the seismic behavior of RC building with base, with base
isolation. Due to urbanization multi-story building with
basement parking space and storage requirement seismic
dissipating devices are being used for various types of
structure and located in the basements which are difficult to
maintain. Therefore, different types of dampers are used above
the basement. Base isolation system is the passive control
device which decouples the super structure from substructure
resting ground motion by insinuating structural elements with
low horizontal stiffness between the structure and foundation.
The analysis and conclusion of research papers shows that
base shear, time period, story drift, stiffness are increased, and
storey displacement, damping ratio, overturning moment
increases by the use of dampers and base isolation system.
Base isolation shows the best result in hard soil and poor in
loose soil. After comparing the results base isolation system is
best for low to medium rise building and damper for high rise
buildings.

1. INTRODUCTION
The development of fast urban infrastructures and the
growth of people peoples getting economically poor to make
their houses in the plain and urban areas. There will become
the congestion of land and need of high rise buildings which
must be safe from the seismic point of view to reduce the
destruction from natural hazards. The knowledge of seismic
and wind performance in modern building structures
becomes an essential section in the design of frame
structures. In high seismic zones, increasing the size of
members of the building is not advantageous as it increases
the weight of the building, covers the large spaces and so not
economical design and safety means of structure.
Buildings are designed only for a fraction (8-14%) of the
force that they would experience. Therefore, design against
earthquake effect is called as earthquake-resistant design and
not earthquake-proof design. Earthquake design requires the
structure to remain elastic or to undergo inelastic behavior,
but wind design requires only elastic behavior in the entire
range of displacement. The loading imposed by earthquake
shaking is displacement type and that by wind & all other
hazards is of force type. Therefore wind requires only elastic
behavior in the entire range of displacement, but in an
earthquake, design building must be elastic or undergo
inelastic behavior. Earthquake resistant design of the
structure is the method of providing the special devices,
methods of design that can resist the effect of ground motion
and must be safe during the ground motion. For resisting the
lateral forces acting due to seismic and wind load shear wall
and bracing are provided in the building. However, it is not
sufficient and economical for all types of structures. So the
evolution of base isolation and dampers in the frame
structures to reduce the horizontal movement of the upper
story called energy dissipating device. The control strategy
for seismic energy dissipating system is base isolation
(tunned mass, liquid, liquid column dampers) energy
dissipating devices such as VD, DED, FD is passive control
device; active tendons, active TMDs & AMD are active control
system and combination of the active and passive system are
hybrid control systems. Analysis of building is done by
various software like FEM, AASYS, ETABS, SAP2000, Staad
Pro. Robot Structure etc. Dynamic analysis such as
equivalent static analysis, response spectrum analysis, time
history analysis, pushover analysis is essential to know the
dynamic performance of structures. Among them, nonlinear
time history analysis gives the best result and mostly used
for research work.
1.1 Base Isolation System
Base isolation is one of the effective seismic energy
dissipating devices used in earthquake-prone regions for
designing of a new buildings as well as retrofitting of existing
building structures. The base isolation system separates the
superstructure from the base (foundation or substructure). It
must be flexibility, damping, and to resist vertical or other
service loads. Its first application was done in New Zealand in
1974, US application in 1984, Japanese application in 1985
but in India, it started in 2003. The main principle of base
isolation is the separation of the building superstructure from
the ground to place the base isolation system which reduces
the chances of destruction due to seismic excitation. There
