It is the need of present time to build structures which can withstand against the seismic conditions.It has been observed that Occurrence of earthquake was very less in the past ,but in present time it has become common. As now a days our cities are becoming more denser , skyscrapers has been built side by side, so if any structure collapses it will also leads to damage the structure near its surrounding. To counteract this problem, our building technique is shifting from fixed to flexible structures . Flexible structures are more safe than rigid and conventional structures because they are capable of dissipating the seismic energy. As the technology is upgrading ,new techniques have came out ,among them most popular is " Base isolation technique" and it is widely used all across the world

:- Base isolation, Rigid structures, seismic effects.
