Past study on earthquake prominently bring into notice that, earthquake protective structure is falls notion. Only possible fact is to resistant vulnerable effects through control systems which limits the damage within permissible even under the greatest possible earthquake. There are many such systems available and serving the purpose from last two decade like passive, active and hybrid earthquake control systems. Passive control systems comprise base isolators, tuned mass damper etc. are most popular out of all. Base isolation is the most accepted member of the family due to its compatibility in hardware, applications, design codes and retrofit manuals. The most popular seismic isolation systems use elastomeric bearings which consist of rubber and steel plates with an energy dissipation mechanism. Common isolation systems in use today include elastomeric and sliding bearings with and without dampers or damping mechanisms. This review paper includes conceptual working principal, methodology, and types of available isolators. It also summarizes effect of different available isolator and their applicability on design parameters like storey drift, storey displacement, base shear and time period form literature. This study presents a comparative table of different parameters such as frequency, base shear, displacement, and story drift with and without base isolation from literature.
