How it works?
I agree. Simplify, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.0.59.202 (talk) 10:12, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

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)

some more information is necessary to understand base isolation in a better way....(122.170.121.170 (talk) 22:03, 25 July 2009 (UTC))

Is there any evidence that early base isolation was an attempt to address earthquakes, or done for some other reason?

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)

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.
