What is Base Isolation in Earthquake Design about?

Base isolation is a seismic protection strategy that involves separating the building from its foundation using isolators to dissipate earthquake energy. The isolators decouple the structure from ground motion by providing a flexible layer between the foundation and structure. Commonly, isolators consist of alternating rubber and steel layers with a lead core. The rubber layers allow horizontal movement while remaining stiff vertically. Base isolation reduces seismic loads and story drift, keeping the build
