Study Of Seismic Isolation Systems For Computer Floors

Two rmd models with different specifications and a viscous damper providing 10 percent of critical damping were applied in the study.

Study of seismic isolation systems for computer floors.

Seismic isolation floor system keep the base isolated foundations keep is also applicable to full fledged three dimensional base isolation while its coil and vertical coil springs absorb vibrations. The nonstructural components equipment and or valuable building content is placed atop the secondary isolated floor system thereby decoupling the isolated component from the floor motion of the primary structural system. Constantinou state university of new york at buffalo department of civil engineering buffalo new york 14260 technical report nceer 94 0020 july 19 1994 this research was conducted at the state university of new york at buffalo. Study of seismic isolation systems for computer floors by v.

Delivery case studies of raised floor system. An experimental study was performed to evaluate seismic reduction performance and the applicability of 2 dimensional floor isolation system to the main control room of a nuclear power plant. Lambrou and constantinou 1994 performed a comprehensive study to develop isolation systems for computer floors. Seismic floor isolation is achieved by isolating a secondary floor system from the primary structural floor using horizontally flexible elements called isolators.

A numerical model of a seven storey building was employed to investigate the seismic response of the isolation floor in fourth storey. Study of seismic isolation systems for computer floors isolation systems seismic applications this report describes the development and testing of a computer floor seismic isolation systems which uses existing devices developed for the seismic isolation of buildings and shock isolation of military equipment. Seven ground motion records were selected from peer ground motion database. The work described in this report concentrated on the development and testing of computer floor seismic isolation systems by utilizing devices of established effectiveness in the seismic isolation of buildings and shock isolation of military equipment.
