Vibration control construction method
This method converts tremors of earthquake into heat energy and suppress shake of buildings.


Outline of the
construction method
One of the vibration control construction methods is the brake damper system. The brake damper is a seismic isolation/vibration control system that absorbs energy by sliding and friction, which is created by inserting a pair of thin stainless sheets and brake material in the joining section of columns and beams or the seismic-isolation element (seismic-isolation wall) and a structure. Applicable to any ground, this vibration control system, which does not affect work period, softly receives earthquake tremors.


Characteristics of the
construction method
Reduce various shakes from small ones caused by wind to large ones caused by large earthquakes to approximately two-thirds.
This system can be incorporated into not only newly built main structures but also materials used for reinforcing or finishing existing buildings. It can be widely applied to low-rise buildings to super high-rise buildings.
No need for unnecessary maintenance because the performance does not degrade after a large number of sliding operations.
No need for replacement because it is not damaged even in large earthquakes.
Costs can be saved because this simple structure does not require expensive materials
