SAFETYINSIDE: Providing an Anti-seismic "Shield" for the Beijing Grand Canal Museum
2025-03-17
Within this vast isolation layer, 242 representative orange-yellow isolation bearings of SAFETYINSIDE are installed. These bearings employ advanced seismic isolation technology. Their working principle is grounded in the high elasticity and damping properties of rubber, along with a unique structural design. When an earthquake strikes and seismic waves propagate upwards, the isolation bearings can extend the natural vibration period of the building, reducing the input of seismic energy. Meanwhile, through their own energy consumption mechanism, they can dissipate the energy generated by the earthquake, effectively blocking the transmission of seismic waves to the main body of the building. It's just like placing a "cushion" between the museum and the ground, significantly alleviating the impact of the earthquake on the building. In this way, it safeguards the precious cultural relics within the museum, the safety of visitors, and the integrity of the museum building. Moreover, the coordinated operation of the isolation layer and the isolation trench not only achieves remarkable earthquake prevention effects but also plays a positive role in waterproofing and moisture-proofing of the cultural relics warehouse, creating a more stable environment for the preservation of cultural relics.
The earthquake prevention science exhibition on the first underground floor of the museum provides a window for the public to gain an in-depth understanding of the seismic isolation technology. Through the glass "windows" reserved on the ground, visitors can directly observe the orange-yellow isolation bearings. The science exhibition introduces earthquake prevention knowledge in great detail through various means. The spherical screen dynamically demonstrates the tectonic plates of the Earth and the distribution of seismic zones. The interactive projection wall elaborates on professional concepts such as earthquake magnitude and intensity, and it also plays simulated images of the potential damage the museum might suffer during an earthquake, enabling visitors to deeply appreciate the significance of building and cultural relics protection measures.
Visitors can also use VR glasses to have an immersive experience of the application principle of the isolation trench. Children can learn earthquake prevention technology through the fun interaction of building earthquake-proof small houses with building blocks.
The application of SAFETYINSIDE's seismic isolation technology in the Beijing Grand Canal Museum not only reflects the powerful force of technology in the field of cultural heritage protection but also showcases China's advanced level in building seismic resistance technology. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Beijing, do go to the Beijing Grand Canal Museum and personally experience the shock brought by this remarkable technology.
