Seismic reinforcement method "Smile Damper Frame"

Seismic reinforcement while living in your home! An earthquake-resistant reinforcement method that is gentle on the Earth and kind to residents.

The "Smile Damper Frame" is an external seismic reinforcement method that achieves "in-situ reinforcement" using stress transfer members such as precast columns, beams, and braces of the surrounding frame, along with damper materials. It features low noise, low vibration, and dust-free construction, resulting in minimal environmental impact, allowing for the continued use of the building during the construction period. Additionally, due to the response reduction effect from the hysteretic damping of the "diamond-shaped slit damper" arranged within the structural plane, it is possible to reduce the number of structural planes by approximately 30-50% compared to conventional seismic reinforcement. 【Features】 ■ Complete in-situ reinforcement ■ More cost-effective compared to general seismic reinforcement methods ■ Evaluation possible without the need for time-history response analysis, using Is *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
