A Base Isolated System is an innovative earthquake-resistant design technique that significantly reduces the impact of seismic activity on buildings and structures. The concept, which was pioneered by engineers like William Robinson in the late 20th century, involves placing flexible bearings or isolation pads between a building’s foundation and its superstructure. These bearings allow the building to move independently from the ground, thereby decoupling it from the damaging forces of an earthq
