In this study, seismic roof isolation solutions were investigated with a case study of Halkapinar Gymnasium, izmir. In the first part, seismic isolation was explanied and philosophy behind it was given. In the second part, existing seismic roof isolators, elastomeric bearing and viscous damper, were investigated with different support isolation combinations. In the third part, two more types of seismic isolators, lead rubber bearing and friction pendulum isolators, were also analyzed by using the same model and all results were compared with each other and that of non-isolated roof system. Furthermore, bilinear effect of the non-linear isolators were also studied. Finally, all results were compared with each other considering structure responses and effectiveness of the seismic isolators. It has been tried to find the most efficient seismic isolation solution for Halkapinar Gymnasium.
