seismic isolation

Seismic isolation is a technology used in buildings and structures to protect them from the effects of earthquakes. It involves creating a barrier, often using flexible bearings or pads, between the building and the ground. This allows the building to move independently of the ground's shaking, reducing the force and movement transferred from an earthquake. As a result, the structure is better able to withstand seismic activity, minimizing damage and enhancing safety for occupants. Seismic isolation is especially important in regions prone to earthquakes, as it helps preserve both human life and property.
