Discussion
Assertion (A): Base isolation reduces the forces transmitted to a structure.
Reason (R): It lengthens the natural period into a region of lower spectral acceleration.
Select the correct option.
Answer: D
Shifting the period well beyond the plateau moves the structure to where the spectrum gives small accelerations, which is exactly why the forces fall. The accompanying rise in displacement is accommodated in the isolation layer.
