Conventional building vs. Seismically isolated building. What is seismic isolation? “Seismic isolation” is a method of protecting a building from major earthquakes. “Isolators” are installed between a building and the ground to reduce vibrations that transmit to a building. It is as if the building were in a condition of floating in the air above the ground. This building is called a seismically isolated building. The hydraulic vibration control brace with amplification mechanism consists of two arms and one oil damper, which can efficiently absorb seismic energy and suppress the shaking of the building caused by the earthquake. It is a mechanism that applies the principle of leverage. Oil damper : It utilizes the viscous property of fluid. Oil or silicon are used as the fluid. Viscous resistance contributes to energy dissipation. Oil damper is a cylindrical shape as shown in the video.
