A shock transmission unit (STU) is a critical component in modern structural engineering, ensuring safety and stability in bridges, buildings, and other infrastructure. It helps manage dynamic forces, such as seismic activity and wind loads, by allowing controlled movement while absorbing shocks.

How Does a Shock Transmission Unit (STU) Work?

A shock transmission unit (STU) functions by reacting to sudden loads while permitting slow movements. This unique mechanism ensures structural integrity in different scenarios:

Absorbs sudden shocks – Prevents damage from earthquakes, wind, or vehicular impact.

Allows gradual movement – Accommodates thermal expansion and contraction in structures.

Enhances durability – Reduces stress on structural components, prolonging lifespan.
