Structure Type I

Seismic Isolation structure Base Isolation Structure

Seismic Isolation Structure shuts earthquake motions from reaching to the building by inserting isolators such as laminated rubber in the foundation of the building. It is capable of reducing the impact of earthquake down to 1/3 to 1/5 (less than half) of the impact earthquake resistant structures will experience.
