Using seismic base isolators dissipate a great deal of energy that would enter to a structure, but at the same time they increase the natural period of vibration of the structure. Now, if we had a light and flexible building, does using seismic base isolators create a negative effect from this point of view, since a flexible building's period is already high and base isolator makes it even more causing it to shake much longer?
