Base isolators

Base isolators are devices installed between a building and its foundation to reduce the impact of earthquakes. They act like shock absorbers, allowing the building to move independently from ground motion. During a quake, base isolators absorb and dissipate seismic energy, minimizing the transfer of vibrations to the structure. This helps prevent damage and enhances safety. Made from flexible materials like rubber and reinforced with steel, they are designed to provide stability while allowing movement. Essentially, base isolators serve as a protective cushion, helping buildings withstand earthquakes more effectively.
