Seismic Isolation Principle
Seismic isolators are placed between the structure and the ground to limit the transfer of earthquake energy to the building. When used together with post-tensioning in the superstructure, both flexibility and load capacity are optimized.
Integration Principles
Foundation–beam–slab connection details must be modeled to accommodate isolator displacement. Stressing timing directly affects structural behavior.
Application Notes
- Coordinated static and dynamic analysis
- Field tolerances and installation checklists
- Performance verification through monitoring points
