Which of these is the correct order of increasing displacement demand across an isolation plane?

  • A.Maximum considered earthquake, design earthquake, small earthquake, in that order
  • B.Design earthquake, small earthquake, maximum considered earthquake, in that order
  • C.All three are equal, the isolation plane displacing the same amount in every case
  • D.Small earthquake, design earthquake, maximum considered earthquake

Answer: D

Displacement grows with the severity of the shaking, and the system is checked at the design level and again at the rarer maximum considered level. Restraints and additional gap are provided so that the larger event does not exhaust the bearings.
