उत्तर
- An earthquake-proof building’s foundation is separated from the surrounding land to prevent the transmission of seismic vibrations from the ground to the structure.
- This separation is achieved via techniques such as base isolation, which involves placing flexible bearings or isolators between the building and its foundation.
- These isolators absorb and dissipate seismic energy, allowing the foundation to move independently of the structure and limiting the impact of ground shaking and structural damage.
