What is the difference between seismic resistance and seismic isolation! A comprehensive explanation covering effects, costs, and comparisons.
For us living in Japan, a country prone to earthquakes, enhancing the "seismic resistance" of our homes has become a standard preparation. However, in actual major earthquakes, issues can arise from "repeated shaking and damage to the interior of buildings" that cannot be fully prevented by seismic structures alone. This is where attention is being drawn to hybrid measures that combine seismic resistance with "damping systems." In this article, we will thoroughly explain the differences between seismic resistance and damping, the mechanism of damping systems, costs and considerations for implementation, as well as actual case studies and product comparisons, providing the necessary knowledge for future earthquake countermeasures. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links.

Company information
Tokiwa System Co., Ltd. is a company that develops, manufactures, and sells the seismic control device αDamperExII. It is a pioneer in seismic control devices using hydraulic dampers. The αDamperExII has received the number one track record and trust in the Tokai and Tonankai earthquake warning areas, and it will soon be adopted in 10,000 buildings. The αDamperExII is a hydraulic seismic control device that reduces building deformation caused by earthquake shaking by approximately half.
