Study Of Seismic Isolation Systems For Computer Floors

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.

Study of seismic isolation systems for computer floors.

Seven ground motion records were selected from peer ground motion database. Lambrou and constantinou 1994 performed a comprehensive study to develop 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.

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. 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. The seismic forces can be reduced substantialy while the operations of computers. Study of seismic isolation systems for computer floors by v.

A computer floor system with raised floor and a generic slender equipment was constructed. Seismic floor isolation is achieved by isolating a secondary floor system from the primary structural floor using horizontally flexible elements called isolators. Two rmd models with different specifications and a viscous damper providing 10 percent of critical damping were applied in the study. The mechanical properties of the isolated floor system are also obtained in terms of the acceleration displacement relationship which provides the foundation to better simulate these isolated floor systems in future parametric studies.
