baseisolated
Baseisolated is a term that refers to the practice of isolating a base or foundation of a structure from the surrounding soil or environment. This technique is commonly used in construction and engineering to mitigate the effects of soil movement, settlement, and other geotechnical issues. By separating the base from the soil, engineers can create a stable platform for the structure, reducing the risk of structural damage due to ground movement.
The primary advantage of base isolation is its ability to decouple the structure from the ground, allowing
There are several types of base isolation systems, including lead-rubber bearings, high-damping rubber bearings, and friction
In addition to seismic protection, base isolation can also be used to address other geotechnical challenges,
