The diploma thesis deals with the design and analysis of an earthquake-resistant steel structure. The structure and its elements are designed based on the standard for earthquakeresistant construction SIST EN 1998-1:2005 and its relevant annexes, while the analysis of the structure was carried out using the Abaqus software environment. Steel S355 was selected for the main load-bearing steel elements, the design load of the structure with corresponding safety factors was calculated, and the analysis showed that the structure with seismic isolation can withstand the internal stresses resulting from an earthquake. Accordingly, a rubber seismic isolation made of HDR rubber was dimensioned, serving as the main element for mitigating seismic loads. A comparative analysis of the non-isolated structure was also performed, through which the effectiveness of the damping elements was determined, showing a reduction of internal stresses in the isolated structure by 61,5%. The main contribution of the thesis is to demonstrate the process of designing an earthquakeresistant steel structure with additional seismic isolation and to analyze the load-bearing capacity of the structure and the influence of seismic isolation.
