A simplified method for the seismic design of low-rise, base-isolated shear wall structures is proposed in MOC-2012. This simplified method is basically a hybrid method, where the design of the isolation system is a simpler version for the static method available in US guidelines for the design of base-isolated structures and the design of the superstructure essentially is an improved version of the simplified method for the seismic design of conventional low-rise shear wall structures of Mexican seismic codes. The application of this method and its effectiveness to obtain safe designs is illustrated with a practical example. It is anticipated this simple methodology would help promote the use of base isolation in low-rise shear wall structures and reduce their vulnerability when subjected to strong earthquakes.

In order to meet the needs of performance-based seismic design, a new type of adaptive-slit shear wall that is easy to construct and behaves well under cyclic loading is introduced to improve the seismic performance of conventional shear wall structures. The seismic damage of an adaptive-slit shear wall develops gradually and it transforms from integral wall into slit wall. The mechanical characteristics of adaptive-slit shear walls suggest that such walls are adaptive to various seismic requirements under earthquakes of different intensities. Compared with conventional shear walls, the new wall is highly ductile and is advantageous in controlling the seismic damage process.
