Seismic Structure

The exhibit allows visitors to see a comparison of the seismic performance between a typical high-rise building structure model and a high-rise building structure model that incorporates seismic isolation technology, tuned mass dampers, and effective seismic support systems. Understanding the importance of seismic design in building structures.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

Seismic structure is the most critical issue that should be considered in seismic design, playing a decisive role in safety and economy, and is a comprehensive system decision. The selection of the system should comply with several basic principles of seismic conceptual design. A series of earthquakes of different sizes that occur successively in adjacent areas within a certain period of time is called an earthquake sequence. Generally, in an earthquake sequence, there are three types: mainshock, mainshock, and aftershock. According to the characteristics of the mainshock, the earthquake sequence can be divided into three types: mainshock type, swarm type, and isolated type.
