This paper systematically reviews the development and application status of seismic isolation and damping technologies for building structures. The research indicates that the seismic isolation and damping technologies for building structures have currently entered a mature development stage, and their promotion and application have also received extensive attention. This paper focuses on explaining the commonly used seismic isolation and damping technologies in the field of building structures and their action principles, and conducts an in-depth discussion on damping devices and isolation devices based on different seismic isolation and damping principles. Finally, combining with industry development trends, this paper puts forward several suggestions for the development directions and application prospects of seismic isolation and damping technologies for building structures in the future.
