Uplift-restraining Friction Pendulum seismic isolation system.

Uplift-restraining Friction Pendulum seismic isolation system.

This paper extends the scope of seismic isolation by introducing an innovative uplift-restraining Friction Pendulum system. Termed the XY-FP isolator, the new isolation device consists of two orthogonal opposing concave beams interconnected through a sliding mechanism that permits tension to develop...
