Which one of the following is NOT a reason to choose base isolation?
Answer: C
Correct answer: To reduce the mass of the superstructure
Isolation changes nothing about the mass - the same building stands on the bearings. The three genuine reasons are all here: keeping a critical facility functional rather than merely standing, strengthening a historic building without touching its visible fabric, and protecting acceleration-sensitive contents, which conventional ductile design does nothing for because it accepts damage as the price of survival.
