@inventionontt: Original Video Credit: IG/laibin_seismic Two identical building models are placed on a shaking table, each with a glass of colored liquid on the roof. As the simulated earthquake begins, one building rocks violently while the other remains remarkably stable, making the difference immediately visible. The stable model sits on Friction Pendulum System bearings, which allow the foundation to slide across curved surfaces instead of transferring the full ground motion into the structure. Friction absorbs part of the seismic energy, and gravity naturally returns the building to its centered position after the shaking stops. Friction Pendulum Systems are used in earthquake prone regions to protect hospitals, bridges, airports, and other critical infrastructure. By isolating a structure from ground motion, they can significantly reduce structural damage and help buildings remain operational after major earthquakes. No copyright infringement intended.
