A brake damper is an earthquake-resistant/damping system
that tucks a pair of thin stainless steel brake material
into the end of a pillar/beam and the joint of earthquake-resistant
elements (braces, earthquake-resistant walls, etc.) and
a support groove to absorb energy by sliding and friction.
- From slight shaking by wind to a major jolt by a powerful earthquake, this system reduces building shake by about 2/3.
- Broad range of applications.
- Even after many times of sliding, the performance remains the same, minimizing maintenance.
- Even after a major earthquake, the system remains undamaged; no replacement is required.
- Excellent cost performance.
