Base isolation can improve earthquake-resistant building design by providing a flexible, earthquake-resistant foundation that can isolate the building from ground motions. This is achieved by placing the building on a set of bearings or pads that are designed to absorb seismic energy and reduce the transfer of forces to the building. Base isolation can be used in combination with other techniques, like energy dissipation devices or shear walls, to improve building performance during earthquakes.
