The 3-inch deflection SSM Series seismic spring isolators have built-in, all-directional snubbing. The snubbing element is molded from high-quality neoprene, and the housing is constructed of steel ...

Seismic isolation and damping systems have been widely adopted since the 1980s as effective and economical measures for protecting civil structures, ...

The Model FLSS is a seismic control restrained spring isolator. It consists of free-standing, large-diameter laterally stable steel springs assembled into welded steel housing assemblies. Model FHS is ...

Seismic isolation systems offer an invaluable means of protecting buildings from earthquake‐induced forces by decoupling the structure from ground motion. Recent technological advances have focused on ...

Researchers have developed a novel negative-stiffness isolation device that offers a pioneering solution for seismic protection. The device, designed to provide multidirectional negative stiffness and ...

Keywords: Sliding isolation bearings, nuclear power plants, temperature dependence of friction, seismic hazard definitions, seismic risk calculations Abstract: This report presents a study on the ...

A team led by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency has concluded a series of large-scale demonstration tests for an innovative new floating seismic isolation system intended for pairing with small modular ...
