KEY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Base Isolation Systems: In these systems, a
flexible isolation system is introduced between
the foundation and superstructure so as to increase
the natural period of the system, and thereby to
reduce the structural responses.
Earthquake Excitation: Earthquake excita-
tion is light or intense vibration and movement
of the ground because of releasing of the energy
of quick rupture in the earth's crust fault which
is happened quickly.
Fuzzy Logic: This logic uses fuzzy systems
instead of crisp ones; therefore, it leads to obtain-
ing precise results. This method is very effective
in regulating the uncertain and imprecision data.
Genetic Algorithms: They are effective search
methods in wide space that eventually lead to the
orientation towards finding an optimal answer.
