Here, differences between general seismic resistance and seismic isolation are compared, and seismic isolation with the FPS-HP is described.
A comparison of general seismic resistance and seismic isolation
*Seismically isolated housing may not be legally allowed to be built on soft ground.
Seismic motion is so greatly reduced that occupants might wonder, “Oh, is that really an earthquake?”
Only people who have experienced a major earthquake are aware that it has vastly more energy than expected. In contrast, buildings have been built with an emphasis on strength in the belief that “I don’t imagine it will collapse, I don’t imagine it will collapse."However, there was a problem that could not be overcome. The problem was that “the building shakes violently as the ground shakes.”Therefore, serious harm can still occur even if the building itself does not collapse. Occupants can be trapped under furniture, or the fear of shaking can cause subsequent “mental stress”.
When living in a FPS-HPSeismic isolation home, occupants think “Oh, is that really an earthquake?” even during a medium-sized earthquake.
Based on the principle of a pendulum, a seismic isolator protects people and their homes from earthquakes.
In order to build a home that does not shake violently in the event of a major earthquake, one has to think about absorbing the energy of the earthquake.
