@pahadi.education7: [ Ep - 47 ] Why is base isolation used in earthquake-resistant buildings? Answer -- Base isolation is a technique where flexible bearings or dampers are placed between a building's foundation and its superstructure, allowing the ground to move during an earthquake while the building above moves much less and more slowly. This effectively decouples the structure from the violent shaking of the earth, reducing the forces transferred into the building's columns, beams, and walls. Base isolation is especially valuable for hospitals, government buildings, and other critical structures that must remain functional immediately after a major earthquake, since it significantly reduces both structural damage and the risk to occupants inside. #pahadieducation7 #baseisolation #foryou #structure #earthquake
