Abstract: This paper explores base isolation as an advanced structural engineering technique to mitigate earthquake effects. By decoupling structures from ground motion, isolators such as elastomeric and sliding bearings significantly reduce seismic force transmission. The study covers methodology, material properties, and comparative performance against fixed-base structures, concluding that base isolation is a vital component for resilient infrastructure in seismic zones.
