【 摘 要 】

Most of our country is located in the earthquake zone where active fault lines exist. Statistical analysis show thatdamaging earthquake occurs every 8 months in our country.The major devastations due to the 1999 Kocaeli andDüzce earthquakes have caused almost impossible losses to compensate for the country's economy. The healthfacilities damaged or destroyed in these earthquakes caused the disruption of the most needed health servicesafter the earthquake, and hence increase of the losses. Seismic isolation can be defined as, considering thecharacteristics of earthquake acceleration, preventing damage to small or medium-sized earthquakes, andreducing the damage to large earthquakes by increasing the period and damping of the building. Seismicisolation is an earthquake-resistant structural design approach based on the principle of reducing the seismicforce of the buildings by extending the period of the building, rather than increasing the seismic resistancecapacity of the structure. The right applications of this technology allow buildings to be elastic even duringmajor earthquakes.
