Making buildings earthquake-proof If this technology had been used more often in our country years ago, the suffering of the earthquake today would not have been so intense.

Used in the world for years, placed in some buildings in our country. “seismic isolators” It has the property of absorbing the shaking caused by the earthquake.

Seismic isolators placed under reinforced concrete scissors and supporting columns reduce the effect of the earthquake by shifting to the right and left during the earthquake.

The isolator system under load prevents the shaking that the upper floors will feel. up to 80% can reduce. This prevents damage to buildings.

The energy created by the earthquake by damping In addition to preventing damage to the building, it also minimizes the hazards that can arise from falling furniture and fixtures.

Insulators are checked in two stages before being placed on the columns.

Prototypes subjected to very difficult loads; It has a vertical payload of 2,000 tons and a horizontal payload of 200 tons. Thin rubber plates and steel plates are produced by layering.

Thanks to the rubber layers, it is resistant to ozone, harmful ultraviolet rays, various pollutants, chemicals, rust and moisture. This prevents material deterioration that may occur over time. up to 60 years It also has durability.

The use of this system in hospitals with 100 beds or more has been mandatory in Turkey since 2013.

In addition In this we are unique in the world. These seismic isolations are located under the hospitals built in the 1st and 2nd earthquake zones.

As for the cost… It varies between 5% and 10% for multi-storey buildings. It may differ depending on the number of insulators used, the size and different parameters.
