P S Friction Pendulum Seismic Isolation
Friction PendulumTM Seismic Isolation E P S Friction PendulumTM bearings are Seismic isolators that are installed between a structure and its foundation to protect the supported structure from earthquake ground shaking. Using Friction PendulumTM technology, it is cost-effective to build structures to elastically resist earthquake ground motions without structural damage. Friction PendulumTM bearings use the characteristics of a Pendulum to lengthen the natural period of the isolated structure so as to avoid the strongest earthquake forces. During an earthquake, the supported structure moves with small Pendulum motions. Since earthquake induced displacements occur primarily in the bearings, lateral loads transmitted to the structure are greatly reduced. The Single Pendulum Bearing is the original Friction PendulumTM bearing.
