Low Friction Seismic Isolation Device for Structures: Characterization and Experimental Tests
Abstract eng: The Seismic Filter (SF) is a device that nearly suppresses seismic energy from being transmitted to structures. Likewise, applicative to any structure with no restrictions as to weight, shape or architecture. Basically, it consists of two plates, one fixed to the foundation and the other to the structure, that between them confine a non-compressible fluid in a sealed environment. Thereby, during an earthquake, allows the former to remain practically motionless as it slides over the latter. The very low shearing forces thus obtained permit hydraulic jacks to be fitted on top of SF that can be used to solve inclinations due to differential sinking of foundations.
