An earthquake isolator is a passive structural control element placed between a building’s foundation and superstructure with the aim of reducing the horizontal acceleration the structure experiences during an earthquake. It seeks to prevent damage to both the load-bearing system and non-structural components by reducing the seismic forces transmitted to the building. Basic Principles of Seismic Isolation The principle of seismic isolation is to increase the building’s natural period and dissipa
