The invention relates to A method for protecting a structure from seismic ground motion and forced vibration comprising the following steps: preparing a horizontal bearing surface or a solid foundation on top of which the isolation system will be placed; providing flexible damping elements of a group consisting of unreinforced rubber slabs and fiber-reinforced elastomeric mats; each mat consisting essentially of a piece of a rubber mat reinforced with fibers extending parallel to the surfaces of the mat; covering the horizontal bearing surface or the solid foundation with several layers of damping elements, each layer consisting of a plurality of elongated pieces of the mat arranged side by side; erecting the structure by putting the lower surface of the structure directly upon the upper surface of an uppermost layer of damping elements. Further the invention relates to an elastomeric seismic isolation system for bearing a structure supported by a foundation
