Abstract: The Project considers suitability of base isolation techniques in given site condition. Civil engineering deals with constructing different types of structures with ensuring safety, durability and serviceability. Now days “earthquake “is phenomena that affects the structures with their safety and serviceability. The amount of damage that earthquake can done to structures is depend on Type of building, Type of soil, Technology used for earthquake resistance, and last but not the least Location of building. Effects of earthquake is largely depended on type of soil in which foundation of building is done because earthquake changes the motion of ground that results the failure foundation. So, it is important to study the behaviour of different soil at the time of construction of structures. Also, earthquake can resist by various technologies used in building, one of these are base isolation techniques. It improves the structural performance of building subjected to lateral forces due to earthquake excitation. This study focuses on behaviour of different types of soil at the time of earthquake occurrence and base isolation impact on structures.
