What is Seismic Isolation for Masonry Buildings about?

This document discusses using seismic isolation to allow for masonry structures in seismic areas. Seismic isolation reduces seismic forces on a structure by placing it on movable bearings. This allows masonry structures, which are not very earthquake resistant, to be used. The document presents a case study of a masonry building designed with a seismic isolation system under its foundations. This system significantly reduces seismic forces, allowing the use of masonry construction while meeting safety codes
