Translate "Seismic Isolation Trench" to English

Seismic isolation trench is the English translation for the Chinese term "隔震沟" (ge zhen gou). This type of trench is a crucial component in earthquake engineering, designed to absorb seismic energy and protect structures from damage. It is used to create a physical separation between different parts of a building or infrastructure, allowing them to move independently during an earthquake, thereby reducing stress and preventing collapse.
