Ancillary devices for seismic isolation
Besides the bearings themselves, a base-isolated building needs devices that hold it in place under wind, resist uplift forces and cover the isolation gap without restricting displacements during an earthquake.
Ancillary devices: items in the range
Anti-wind Device (Type II)
Wind restraint (type II)
The second version of the wind restraint. Chosen by loads and the manufacturer's catalogue.
Anti-tension Device
Uplift restraint
Resists tensile (uplift) forces so that the isolation bearings do not work in tension.
Anti-tension Device for FPS
Uplift restraint for FPS bearings
An uplift restraint for FPS friction pendulum bearings.
Cover Plate
Cover plate
Covers the isolation gap at floors and entrances without restricting building displacement during an earthquake.
Staircase Rubber Bearing
Rubber bearing for stairs
A rubber bearing for stair flights: it prevents the stairs from acting as a rigid link between parts of the building during an earthquake.
Diagrams are schematic. Parameters, versions and documents are per the manufacturer's catalogue and the project analysis.
