Introduction to the principle of
Flexible quake-proof technology for buildings
There are two main ways to improve the seismic resistance of buildings:
【1】Rigid anti-seismic technology and【2】Flexible quake-proof technology.
【1】Rigid anti-seismic technology: Based on the principle of "resistance," it confronts earthquakes directly by reinforcing and thickening beams and columns, engaging in a head-on collision with seismic forces.
【2】Flexible quake-proof technology=
①Energy disspation technology + ②Seismic isolation technology
①Energy disspation technology:Based on the principle of "energy dissipation," it operates similarly to a car's shock absorber. When an earthquake occurs, it can absorb and dissipate part of the seismic energy, significantly reducing the damage to the building structure. It can dissipate approximately 20% to 30% of the seismic energy. The commonly used devices for this technology are collectively referred to as "dampers."
②Seismic isolation technology: Based on the concept of "isolation," it involves installing isolation layers at the base or between floors of a building. This creates an effect similar to a skateboard, converting the violent shaking of the structure into slow horizontal movement. It can isolate about 80% of seismic energy, providing an earthquake resistance capacity 8 to 10 times that of traditional buildings. The commonly used devices for this technology are collectively referred to as "isolation bearings or isolators."
