Friction Pendulum Seismic Isolation

The friction pendulum bearing isolators from Tiantie is composed of steel and friction materials like friction pendulum bearing. The natural vibration period of the upper structure is extended by the relative sliding of the spherical sliding surface. The appropriate radius of curvature of the sliding surface is selected according to the required natural vibration period. The damping coefficient is controlled by the friction coefficient; The sliding limit bolt is set to ensure the stability of the building in non-earthquake, and easy to cut in earthquake to ensure the deformation capacity.

Features of Friction Pendulum Seismic Isolation

  • Self-reset after earthquake.

  • The vibration period has nothing to do with the carried mass.



Application of Friction Pendulum Seismic Isolation

As a widely recognized and effective type of seismic isolators, the friction pendulum system plays a crucial role in modern structural engineering. Friction pendulum isolators are primarily utilized in the design and implementation of friction pendulum bearing isolators, which are essential for enhancing the seismic resilience of buildings, bridges, and other critical civil structures. These isolators are not only integral to new construction projects but also serve as a key component in the seismic reinforcement and renovation of existing infrastructures. By incorporating friction pendulum isolators, engineers can significantly reduce seismic forces transmitted to the structure, thereby ensuring greater safety and longevity. This advanced technology is indispensable for achieving optimal performance in seismic-prone areas, making it a preferred choice for engineers and architects committed to safeguarding their projects against earthquake damage.
