Seismic isolation

Bearings between the foundation and the building: they lengthen the vibration period and reduce accelerations in the structure.

Main

LRB — lead rubber bearingFlexibility and damping in one device.Learn more ›

LNR — natural rubber bearingA linear elastic bearing, used together with dampers or LRB bearings.Learn more ›

HDRB — high-damping rubberDamping provided by the properties of the rubber compound.Learn more ›

FPS — friction pendulum sliding bearingSpherical sliding surface; the period does not depend on building mass.Learn more ›

Energy dissipation

Dampers in the building frame absorb vibration energy and reduce displacements.

VFD — viscous damperResistance depends on velocity; adds almost no stiffness.Learn more ›

BRB — buckling-restrained braceA steel core in a casing performs equally in tension and compression.Learn more ›
