Discussion
Assertion (A): Isolation is a poor choice for a tall slender building.
Reason (R): Overturning can put the edge bearings into tension, which elastomeric bearings resist poorly.
Select the correct option.
Answer: A
Uplift at the edge of the isolation plane is the governing difficulty for a slender building, and laminated rubber bearings delaminate rather than stretch. A tall building is also flexible already, so there is less period shift to be gained in the first place.
