ANTI-SEISMIC SYSTEMS

The KSJ solution for seismic isolation

Kinematic joint with passive articulation with longitudinal and transversal translation

The KSJ system uses steel components appropriately constrained to decouple the horizontal motion of the ground from the structure

Research/development project, Test and approval in collaboration with:

  - Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture, University of Pavi/strong>

ANTI-SEISMIC INSULATING BASES

NON-STRUCTURAL ISOLATION CULTURAL HERITAGE AND / OR SENSITIVE AREAS

Instead of isolating an entire building or entire portions of it, it is possible to introduce isolation devices between individual non-structural components and building floors.
