Optimal vertical isolation characteristics were studied for the structural concept of vertical seismic isolation system, which uses a common deck and a set of large coned dish springs. Four kinds of earthquake wave and three kinds of artificial seismic wave were used. The earthquake response analysis of a base isolated building was carried out considering some ground conditions and some vertical vibration characteristics of the building isolator. Floor response and acceleration time history at the vertical isolation level were arranged. Using the acceleration time history as a seismic input, the earthquake response analysis of the vertical isolation system according to single degree of freedom model was carried out. Linear analysis and non-linear analysis were made. ln the linear analysis, vertical isolation frequency was examined within 0.8 to 2.5 Hz, and damping ratio was examined within 2 to 60%. ln the non-linear analysis, it was examined within vertical isolation frequency 0.5 to 5Hz, which depended only on the rigidity of the coned disk spring, rigidity ratio of the damping devise 1 to 20 and yield seismic intensity of the damping devise 0.01 to 0.2. As the optimal vertical isolation characteristics of the system, the criterion of largest relative displacement, maximum acceleration and maximum value of the floor response acceleration between 5 to 12Hz was set, the combination region of the appropriate parameter were examined. ln case of largest relative displacement 50mm, acceleration response magnification of 0.75, floor response magnification of 0.33 were used as a criterion, from the result of the linear analysis, vertical frequency was set at 0.8 to l.2 Hz, and by combining the damping ratio over 20 %, it was proven that appropriate vertical isolation characteristics were obtained. The result of the non-linear analysis showed that the combination of the coned disk spring of vertical frequency 0.8 to 1.0 Hz and the damping element of rigidity ...
