The 3-inch deflection SSM Series seismic spring isolators have built-in, all-directional snubbing. The snubbing element is molded from high-quality neoprene, and the housing is constructed of steel ...

Seismic rubber bearing and isolators can reduce and limit the energy transferred from the ground to the upper structures, especially in the event of earthquake. Seismic rubber bearing and isolators ...

The Model FLSS is a seismic control restrained spring isolator. It consists of free-standing, large-diameter laterally stable steel springs assembled into welded steel housing assemblies. Model FHS is ...

Seismic isolation systems offer an invaluable means of protecting buildings from earthquake‐induced forces by decoupling the structure from ground motion. Recent technological advances have focused on ...

Research on the application of seismic isolation methods will lead to better protection of buildings, infrastructure, and sensitive equipment subjected to dynamic loads caused by seismic activity. The ...

With the devastation in Haiti still fresh in our everyone’s minds a team at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) - Barcelona Tech is working on a system to better protect buildings, ...

Recent studies have shown that the seismic load case can substantially increase the overnight capital cost (OCC) of safety-class equipment in advanced nuclear power plants. Seismic isolation can ...

A team led by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency has concluded a series of large-scale demonstration tests for an innovative new floating seismic isolation system intended for pairing with small modular ...

New research reveals how frictional base isolators can protect timber buildings from collapse during major earthquakes—without the need for expensive anchor tie systems. Study: Seismic Collapse of ...
