The design process, which applies principles of biomimetics, is inspired by the motion detection ability of birds and fishes and shock isolation ability of woodpeckers' skulls. Concrete blocks with and without base isolators were subjected to shake table tests to evaluate the efficiency of the base isolation system. Results revealed that the base isolation system reduces horizontal acceleration of concrete blocks by approximately 82.00 ± 2.0. © 2012 IEEE. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84867908853&doi=10.1109%2fSHUSER.2012.6268899&partnerID=40&md5=cfa7f39d3b7c02f40ce541cbd2b506bb id_number: 10.1109/SHUSER.2012.6268899 full_text_status: none publication: SHUSER 2012 - 2012 IEEE Symposium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 63-66 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781467313100 citation: Khamidi, M.F. and Farhan, S.A. and Chai, K.H.Z. and Idrus, A. and Nuruddin, M.F.
