Seismic Retrofitting for Highrise Buildings

A Critical 'Base Isolation' System could prevent buildings from crumbling during a large quakes.

Go To Article

 Written by Aria Bendix Innovation Reporter


  • For decades, engineers have been using a technology called base isolation that can protect buildings from earthquakes.


  • The system isn't common in the US, but it has been installed in the city halls of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Pasadena, as well as Apple's new headquarters in the Silicon Valley.
  • While many structures in the US are built directly on the ground, base-isolated structures, sit on bearings, that help absorb the shock of an earthquake.


  • This unique system could help mitigate a major disaster, but property owners must be willing to pay an additional upfront cost.
