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 IsolationThe principle of seismic isolation is to increase the building’s natural period and dissipate

Seismic-Resistant Building Design and Modern Techniques in Arid RegionsEarthquakes are among the most destructive natural disasters globally, causing widespread devastation. In regions with different climatic and geographical characteristics, seismic-resistant building design requires distinct technical approaches. In arid regions, extreme temperature fluctuations, low humidity levels, and weak soil structure are key factors that significantly affect building performance.Structural Challenges an
