Silos are vulnerable structures during severe seismic events due to their slenderness and their interaction with stored material. This investigation presents the results of a special structure that incorporates a basal seismic isolation system, such as the Triple Friction Pendulum System (TFPS). A parametric study was conducted on eight models of reinforced concrete silos to evaluate the effectiveness of TFPS isolators in mitigating the effects of various parameters on their seismic response. This research makes significant contributions by identifying parameters that affect isolated silos, providing valuable insights into their seismic behaviour. The silos were modeled and validated by comparing the forces obtained from a modal spectral analysis with analytical forces from a previous study, achieving acceptable errors for the research objectives. Finally, a nonlinear dynamic time histor...
