The use of seismic isolation as an adaptation or improvement technique allows most of the operations to be concentrated on the isolation level (foundation, basement or ground floor), significantly limiting the reinforcement operations for the structural elements of the superstructure.
Seismic isolation technology has often proved to be the only technology capable of achieving the safety standards required by the regulations, which can otherwise only be pursued through demolition and reconstruction of damaged buildings.
It should be noted that if the operational phases are designed with care, the building can remain in use during the work of inserting the isolation devices.
