Seismic Isolation: The Key to Protecting Structures In earthquake-prone regions, one technology stands out as a game-changer: Seismic Isolation. Unlike traditional design methods that only aim to resist seismic forces, seismic isolation decouples the structure from ground motion, drastically reducing the seismic energy transferred to the building. This technology not only safeguards structural components like beams, columns, and foundations—but it also preserves non-structural elements such as p

A Base Isolated System is an innovative earthquake-resistant design technique that significantly reduces the impact of seismic activity on buildings and structures. The concept, which was pioneered by engineers like William Robinson in the late 20th century, involves placing flexible bearings or isolation pads between a building’s foundation and its superstructure. These bearings allow the building to move independently from the ground, thereby decoupling it from the damaging forces of an earthq
