A Base Isolated System is an innovative earthquake-resistant design technique that significantly reduces the impact of seismic activity on buildings and structures. The concept, which was pioneered by engineers like William Robinson in the late 20th century, involves placing flexible bearings or isolation pads between a building’s foundation and its superstructure. These bearings allow the building to move independently from the ground, thereby decoupling it from the damaging forces of an earthq

Japan: The building utilizes a Seismic Isolation system, which minimizes earthquake vibrations transferred from the ground to the structure. This is achieved using elastic bearings or sliding mechanisms that absorb and dissipate seismic energy, keeping the building stable and reducing damage during an earthquake. Turkey: The building lacks a seismic isolation system, meaning the foundation and structure absorb the full impact of seismic waves. This increases the risk of structural failure, makin
