The three-dimensional lead-rubber dish-spring bearing (3DB) is proposed in this paper. The 3DB is composed of lead rubber bearing (LRB) and dish-spring bearing (DSB) with damper in series. The 3DB put forward in this paper is effective in the resolution of difficulties in strong vertical capacity and vertical damping of three-dimensional isolation bearings. It effectively suppresses rocking motions as well. The analytical model and motion equations of multi-dimensional seismic responses of 3D base-isolated frame structures are established. Taking a five-storey frame structure as an example, an extensive simulation analysis is carried out. The results show that the 3D base-isolated structure with the proposed 3DB is effective in 3D isolation; it can reduce seismic responses by 50 % compared to a non isolated structure. Therefore, the 3D isolation problem in building can be solved easily and effectively with the 3DB proposed in this paper.
