They absorb the energy of seismic waves.

Explanation:

Base - isolators, rubber and steel pads under buildings reduces earthquake damage by absorbing the energy of seismic waves.

  • Earthquakes are produced by the sudden release of energy within the earth which causes displacement and sharp movement on earth surface.
  • There are four main types of waves that are propagated by seismic waves which wrecks havoc.
  • Understanding the waves and their properties has been useful in designing earthquake resistant structures.
  • Base-isolators, rubber and steel pads helps to absorb seismic waves.
  • When seismic waves are absorbed, they are cut off.
  • This way they cannot cause damage.
