In this paper I would like to describe about what seismic isolation is., seismic isolators, their types ,how do they work? ,their advantage and disadvantage. In seismic isolator types you will read about Elastomeric bearings, Natural and Synthetic Rubber Bearings , Lead Rubber Bearings , Friction pendulum bearing, Supplymetal Damping Devices like Buckling Restrained Brace, Fluid Dampers, Visco-Elastic Dampers,Friction Dampers, Hysteretic Dampers(Yeilding Dampers).In advantage and disadvantage part you will read some tips about using seismic isolators. In conclusion you will read a review about seismic isolation and using seismic isolators.
