Engineer Jian Zhang of the University of California says adding seismic isolation can increase construction costs by up to 20 percent. While these systems might save more than they cost over time

35、, builders in some earthquake-prone （地震多发的）regions may not have the budget for them in advance.A new seismic-isolation method uses the physics of rolling to create a simpler, lower-cost alternative with readily available materials: recycled tennis balls.Zurich seismic engineer Michalis Vassiliou, te

36、am based its method on an early form of seismic isolation that rolls a shaking building to a stop the way a skater in a half-pipe eventually comes to rest. By separating a building from the ground with a layer of spheres （球体）in a certain shape, rolling isolation transforms horizontal shaking into a

37、gentle rocking motion and uses friction to further restrain the movement. This method was used in 5,000-year-old Peruvian pyramids, but today builders favor expensive, standardized isolation systems.For their modern rolling seismic isolation, the researchers injected cement-like mixes into hundreds

38、of balls that had lost their bounce. They built an inexpensive model consisting of four filled tennis balls sandwiched between two concrete layers, and they found it supported eight kilonewtons of force per ball-about twice what isolation systems might experience under one-story houses.Zhang says th

39、e work is worthwhile and that such technology might serve an unmet need. But she notes that the results are primary, which Vassiliou agrees; next steps will mean creating and testing a larger model with hundreds of tennis balls at a research center in earthquake-prone Cuba, where such systems could

40、make isolation practicable in ordinary construction.Vassiliou says he has received funding to field-test the system and partner with scientists on the ground to improve the invention. For this to actually be implemented,he adds, you need to develop it with engineers from low-income countries so that
