Outline of the
Construction Method

Seismic response control systems reduce the impact of earthquakes by absorbing seismic energy within a building and minimizing stress on the structural frame.
Seismic dampers installed in the building absorb vibration energy, thereby reducing the forces transmitted throughout the structure. These dampers utilize materials such as steel, fluid, and rubber, converting seismic energy into heat energy through deformation, viscous action, and friction.
Applicable to a wide range of ground conditions and without significant impact on construction schedules, seismic response control systems provide an effective means of mitigating earthquake-induced vibrations.

Characteristics of the
construction method

Outstanding Performance

Seismic response control systems are designed to withstand not only a major earthquake but also aftershocks and moderate seismic events, providing reliable performance against repeated vibrations.
By absorbing and reducing building motion, these systems help minimize damage to the structural frame as well as interior and exterior finishes, and reduce the risk of furniture overturning and other earthquake-related damage.

Widely applicable system

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.
