This animation shows the different effects produced by an earthquake on the conventional and anti seismic foundation of a building [source, Said Lopez: buff.ly/3nPrt7j]
Anti-seismic fondation can use several kinds of dampeners. This is a bi-directional dynamic loading test on steel damper for base isolated buildings simulating the behavior caused by earthquake [source, full video, Tokyo Tech: buff.ly/3mV1cDo]
Another kind of anti-seismic foundation is obtained using pendulum bearings that consist of an upper/lower spherical plate with sliding surface applied with special coating and a moving disc [source, full video, magebagroup: buff.ly/2L1BOhO]
Straddling pendulum dampers are another base isolation system used in the prevention of earthquakes by changing the "swing" frequency (fundamental frequency) of the building [source, full video, poolygonzoo: buff.ly/3hr0psO]
