This study presents a comprehensive design methodology for a magnetorheological-based damper device for a three-dimensional building isolation. The device acts as a suspension system itself by combining the liquid stiffness and controllable magnetorheological damping features in one unit. The bi-linear liquid stiffness feature enhances resistance to global rocking/overturning of the structural system by increasing the stiffness in the rebound mode compared to the compression mode. In the field, the system is combined with the conventional elastomeric bearings widely employed to mitigate the lateral seismic motions. During a seismic event, the system is subjected to dynamic vertical shaking and large lateral forces. The theoretical and simulation modeling to overcome this major challenge and achieve other system requirements are presented. In addition, a comprehensive optimization program is developed to achieve all design requirements. The modeling procedure is verified with experimental results. Also, the effectiveness of Displacement/Velocity-based control for a single degree-of-freedom system subjected to sinusoidal loading is evaluated.
