How it works?

[edit]

this article is ok, but it doesnt explain the process of base isolation to the layman too well. someone should add an explanation, or maybe i will. Bigdan201 (talk) 01:43, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Simplify, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.0.59.202 (talk) 10:12, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
some more information is necessary to understand base isolation in a better way....(122.170.121.170 (talk) 22:03, 25 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Originally to address earthquakes or something else?

[edit]

Is there any evidence that early base isolation was an attempt to address earthquakes, or done for some other reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 02:11, 2010 September 15 (UTC)

Other countries

[edit]

Why does the article say "in process of seismic retrofit, some of the most prominent U.S. monuments" etc. What sbout seismic retrofits in other countries? This isn't a peculiarly American thing.124.197.15.138 (talk) 02:11, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Needs to reference creation of technology, this is not US tech like the article implies. Fairly sure its New Zealand research that spawned this technology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.195.253.19 (talk) 07:51, 2019 May 13 (UTC)
