Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for "precast Isolated Footing On A 50mm Thick Rubber Pad Equal To Plan Size Of Footing To Isolate Earthquake Vibration Transmitted To Footing"

MUMBAI, India, Aug. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641101628 A) filed by Sridhara S on August 22, 2026, for "precast Isolated Footing On A 50mm Thick Rubber Pad Equal To Plan Size Of Footing To Isolate Earthquake Vibration Transmitted To Footing".

Inventor includes Sridhara S.

The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.

Abstract: The present invention details a passive seismic isolation system for shallow foundations in civil engineering structures. The system features a 50mm thick elastomeric rubber pad installed directly beneath a precast concrete isolated footing. The rubber pad matches the exact plan dimensions of the footing to ensure stable vertical load transfer. During an earthquake, the rubber pad serves as a flexible decoupling layer, absorbing and dissipating dynamic ground vibrations before they can be transmitted into the foundation and the broader superstructure. This modular, precast approach offers a simple, highly effective, and economical alternative to complex mechanical base isolators.
