Malatya Hospital has taken a proactive approach to protecting its structure during earthquakes by implementing a base isolation system. The recently experienced M7.8 earthquake in Turkey showcased this technology's effectiveness as it absorbed the seismic energy. A base isolation system is a method of seismic protection where the structure (superstructure) is separated from the base (foundation or substructure). By separating the structure from its base, the amount of energy transferred to the superstructure during an earthquake is significantly reduced.
