Base isolation and fluid viscous dampers are two effective ways to reduce the impact of earthquakes on buildings and other structures. By isolating the foundation from the ground motion, base isolation helps prevent damage to the structure. On the other hand, fluid viscous dampers absorb energy and reduce the amplitude of vibrations, thereby safeguarding the structure against excessive movement. These innovative technologies play a crucial role in enhancing the safety and resilience of our built environment. #learning #concretetechnology #constructionfails #constructionfail
