Seismic Protection of the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, Taiwan
Abstract eng: Seismic isolation is of primary importance for strategic facilities to guarantee the continuity of the most important services to people after an earthquake. On the other hand, it is more and more applied in the protection of historical monuments and museum, with the aim to save inestimable treasures. The paper describes the seismic isolation of the southern branch of the National Palace Museum of Taibao, Chiayi County, Taiwan, an investment of USD 268 million spread over 70 hectares. The seismic protection is composed by 210 sliding pendulums with very high vertical load capacity, up to 20.000 kN and able to carry out one meter of movement. All the types of devices have been tested dynamically at high velocity at Eucentre Laboratory of the University of Pavia (Italy) and at UCSD-S.Diego showing the performance in terms of load capacity under different displacement conditions as well as the dissipation properties with different levels of vertical load and displacement.
