The seismic isolation structure is composed of three parts: building superstructure, seismic isolation layer and foundation.,which mainly dissipates energy through the seismic isolation layer by extending the self‐vibration period of the structure, thereby blocking the transmission of seismic waves upwards, and effectively protecting the safety of the superstructure and its interior. In order to deepen the understanding of basic seismic isolation technology, this paper mainly introduces the research dynamics from the aspects of model design, experimental research and numerical simulation of seismic isolation system, and summarizes the shortcomings of various studies to provide certain reference value for the development of basic seismic isolation system in the future.
