Damper and Structural Seismic Insulation Importance
Building construction field after the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake made people pay more attention to the seismic resistance of buildings. Technologies are developing in a way to minimize building damages caused by a big earthquakes. A numerous studies are developing the technologies and methods for isolating a building from seismic motion. So, they have attracted attention to the most effective measures to improve the earthquake resistance of a building. The methods first are applied to private housing complexes, socially important buildings (official residence of the prime minister, museums, fire stations and government office buildings, disaster-prevention facilities and many other constructions). An earthquake shakes the buildings in all directions and when seismic isolation dampers are provided, they deform greatly, especially horizontally. Thus, it is necessary for a seismic isolation damper to have a homogeneous damping capacity against horizontal deformation force in all 360 degrees without direction-dependency.
