  • Buckling Restrained Brace As a Shock Absorber

    A Buckling Restrained Brace (BRB) is a structural support system that connects a gusset plate to the core plate using bolts. This type of support is relatively easy to install and ...

  • How to Optimize the Damping Performance of a Metal Composite Damper

    Metal Composite Dampers can be constructed using a laminated metal construction. The damping material is bonded to the metal layers using an adhesive. The type of adhesive used dep...

  • What are Earthquake Shock Absorber made for

    Earthquake shock absorbers are designed to absorb the energy from an earthquake and make a building more stable. These new devices are being tested in California and the Bay Area, ...

  • More About Seismic Reduction And Isolation

    Seismic reduction and isolation is essential for structures that can suffer damage due to a natural disaster. Even large earthquakes can cause small damage. Small damage is typical...

  • Friction Damper For Shock Absorption

    A friction damper is an elastic device used to control the vibration of a structure. These devices work well in harsh environments and are capable of operating without electrical p...

  • A Stepwise Incremental Quasi-Static Testing Protocol for a Buckling Restrained Brace

    A buckling-restrained brace is a type of structural brace used in buildings. Its purpose is to help a building resist cyclical lateral loads, most commonly earthquake-induced loads...

  • What Is a Friction Damper?

    A friction damper is a device that uses friction to dampen the forces generated by an earthquake. They were first used in the 1930s but were considered obsolete after the Second Wo...

  • What is Elastic Sliding Bearing

    An Elastic Sliding Bearing is a mechanical device that can be used to control the movement of a moving part by elastic means. Its axial bearing surface is made of elastomeric mater...

  • Type of Seismic Isolation Device For Building

    A Seismic Isolation Device For Building is crucial for homes and other structures. When an earthquake occurs, the foundation of a building moves along with the soil. This causes th...

  • Viscoelastic Damper used in Buildings

    Viscoelastic dampers have been used in buildings for many years. The World Trade Center is a famous example. While many people are aware of its design, few are aware of its applica...

  • Base Isolation Types and What You Need to Know About Them

    There are a few types of base isolation. Here are the most common types and what you need to know about them. These include: Dampers, Structures, and Optimization. These types of i...

  • Where and How is a Lead Rubber Bearing Installed in a Building?

    A lead rubber bearing is a type of seismic damper. It works by converting kinetic energy from ground movement into heat energy. If a building undergoes an earthquake, it will be sa...
