Original Seismic Isolation System

Our original residential seismic isolation system fends off the shock of even large earthquake and keeps the indoor safe. When an earthquake with seismic intensity 5 or higher occurs, the lock by the device for restraining house from moving is released automatically. While the ball bearing with single ball and the pantograph formula rotation friction damper fends off the seismic force from the ground, the system restrains seismic motion of the house. The shakiness of seismic isolated residence comparing to the one of non-seismic residence is reduced from 1/8 to 1/11.When shaking stops, the device for restraining house moving from the wind automatically locks the foundation again.

* The result of triaxial shaking experiment with using a real-sized seismic isolation residence operated by Daiwa House.
