Research has also highlighted the importance of adaptive base isolation systems ... while limiting displacement during less intense earthquakes, thus enhancing overall structural performance ...

Base isolation allows tanks to move independently from ground motion, reducing the forces transmitted to them during an earthquake. Studies have shown that incorporating linear viscous dampers ...

According to the church, the new “base isolation system” could help the temple withstand a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. READ NEXT: Why this (proposed) LDS temple in Texas is at the center of ...
