This paper deals with an isolation device by using friction force. An isolation device decreases response acceleration and external force. Therefore, earthquake damage is reduced. However, an isolation device has a demerit for large relative displacement. A low horizontal natural frequency decreases the response acceleration. Therefore, in this research, a soft spring is attached to the base of the structure. The purpose of this research is to decrease the relative displacement by using the friction force. Then, an analytical model in consideration of the friction force is proposed, and a simulation is analyzed with well-known earthquake waves. Consequently, as the friction force increases, the results show that the relative displacement decreases. However, it is found that the response acceleration increases. But it is thought that optimal friction force exists, and this force decreases both the response acceleration and the relative displacement. This is considered to change with the properties of earthquake waves. Therefore, it is thought that the response acceleration and the relative displacement are decreased by changing the friction force to the most suitable value for earthquakes. This isolation device is examined with simulation analysis. An experimental device is made under the same conditions as the proposed analytical model. The analytical results are compared with the experimental results, and the validity of an analytical program is examined.
