A quake is a random tremor or movement of the earth’s crust, which is developed naturally on or below the surface of earth. While designing a structures in seismically active area, a designer has to make provision of predetermined level of reliability and earthquake resistance of building structures. Now, to improve the seismic resistance, various isolation techniques, including lead rubber bearings, which occupy a leading position in the construction practice utilization, are being increasingly applied. Base isolation (BI) system for buildings is introduced to separate the building structure from potential damage induced by earthquake motion, preventing the building superstructures from absorbing the earthquake energy. A study determining the effectiveness of base isolators is carried out on multi-storey structures with varying height and in different soil condition.
