**6. Conclusions**

The important conclusions drawn from this work are the following:

(1) For the crane-induced vibration, the vertical vibration is much larger than that in the in-plane directions. Moreover, the major vibrations between 15 to 40 Hz, induced by the slab natural frequencies and the moving crane, are almost identical for the factory with and without LRBs, and the ambient vibrations at other frequencies are small. This is because the factory mass is much larger than that of the moving crane. Thus, the moving crane does not change the major ambient vibrations between the factory with and without LRBs.

(2) The high-tech factory with LRBs can decrease over 50% of the seismic base shear for earthquakes with *Ts*≤ 1.0, and for earthquakes with a long dominant period, such as *Ts* = 1.4 s, the LRB efficiency may decrease a little. However, the high-tech factory with LRBs may have much larger wind-induced vibration than that without LRBs, especially for the RC level that is the most critical for micro vibration. This is because the turbulent wind is fully loaded to the factory while the LRB initial stiffness is not large enough. Therefore, this situation will bring grea<sup>t</sup> disadvantage to the use of LRB in high-tech factories. To overcome this problem, the shade of adjacent buildings for the high-tech factory may be an alternative to resistant the wind-induced vibration.

(3) Because micro vibration is a major concern for high-tech factories, one should use the LRB with a large initial stiffness and a small ratio of the final stiffness over the initial stiffness (α). The large initial stiffness of the LRB can resist the wind loads, while the small α can reduce the seismic load of high-tech factories. This situation makes it difficult to obtain a suitable LRB but may reduce seismic responses while not increasing the micro vibration for high-tech factories.
