Title:
Abstract:	Kürzlich wurde das Hauptgebäude der Berufsfeuerwehr Basel-Stadt aus dem Jahre 1943 auf spezielle Erdbebenlager aus Gummi und auf Gleitlager gestellt. Es handelt sich um die erste derartige Erdbebenertüchtigung eines bestehenden Gebäudes nördlich der Alpen. Im Vergleich zu einer konventionellen Verstärkung waren die Baukosten bedeutend geringer, und es war keine temporäre Ausquartierung des Betriebes in ein teures Provisorium erforderlich. Zudem ist die resultierende Erdbebensicherheit erheblich größer und die Schadensanfälligkeit bei schweren Erdbeben wesentlich geringer als es bei einer konventionellen Verstärkung der Fall wäre. Seismic upgrading of the fire brigade building in Basel by base isolation. Recently, the main building of the professional fire brigade of the city and canton Basel-Stadt built in the year 1943 was placed on special seismic elastomeric bearings and on sliding bearings. This is the first such seismic upgrading of an existing building in the north of the Alps. Compared to a conventional strengthening the buildingcosts were significantly smaller, and no temporary transfer of the operation into an expensive provisional building was necessary. Moreover, the resulting seismic safety is considerably higher and the vulnerability to a severe earthquake essentially smaller than in case of a conventional strengthening.
