Base isolation is an attractive strategy for reducing the effects of            earthquakes in certain structures and siting situations.  The strategy          is being implemented around the world and in the United States.                                                                                                 This research project considers the feasibility of using a combination          of active control and base isolation for the seismic protection of              critical structures.  Base isolation allows the structure to be                 uncoupled at the base from the ground motion.  When active control is           added it should be possible to minimize the absolute accelerations of           the structure thus greatly reducing the accelerations and forces                experiences by sensitive internal equipment or fragile contents.  The           research is both practical and experimental.  Shake table studies of            the combined active control-base isolation methodology are to be                carried out using a large scale structural model.  The shake table              tests are very important in establishing that the theoretical results           can be translated into hardware and shows the limits of applicability           of the technique.
