Type of Base Isolation Systems
Well, what kind of mechanism can achieve this, resisting the gravitational pull of earth? A lubricated sliding surface? Or a strong magnetic levitation? These might sound right but are not…
Base Isolation System
What is Base isolation? Base isolation is a state-of-the-art method in which the structure (superstructure) is separated from the base (foundation or substructure) by introducing a suspension system between the base and…
