In the recent years, due to the limitations of common isolation systems, there are new hybrid base isolation systems proposed, for instance, the hybrid system consisting of unbonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator and shape memory alloy wires, hybrid fraction yielding elastomeric bearing and rubber bearing with slit damper devices. In this paper, to improve the dissipative energy capacity of isolation devices and decrease the displacement of the superstructure, the novel hybrid seismic system including seismic isolator connected with S-shaped steel dampers (SSSDs) is investigated, and a simplified model of that system is proposed. The numerical model of a low-rise masonry house using the simplified model of the novel system is established in ABAQUS. The simulations and the comparisons of a low-rise masonry house with and without the novel system are investigated under the earthquake action based on finite element method. The novel hybrid seismic system applied in a low-rise masonry house has more effective protection by adding SSSDs. It can be adopted as a reference to improve the mechanical capacity of the isolation system and supple the practical application in the engineering.
