Main Impact of the Earthquake
• Buildings collapsed
• Break roads
• Destroy bridges
Government’s policies/measures
(aftermath)
1.Automation seismic trip system
• Major elements:
1. Earthquake sensors
2. Data process
3. Trip control module
• Further ensure plant safety
2.Promotion and Education
• Provides citizens with information about what
to do during the earthquake→ reduce
casualties
3.‘Structural Accreditation Building’
• Regulation
• Encourages
companies to
adopt advanced
architectural skills

Shockproof buildings Foundation Isolator
Building with Diagonal Brace Damper Building with Tuned Mass Damper
Video clip we took in the 921
Earthquake Museum of Taiwan :D
What is this model about?
• 5 different architectural structure
• Government’s measure: damping
technology

Floor isolation system
• Seismic energy is
absorbed by the middle
layer (roller bearing)
• Upper floor can remain
stable (Newton’s laws
of motion 1st law)
How does Taipei 101 reduce wind
vibration
• a golden ‘ball’ hanging
from the 92th floor
down to the 87th floor
in Taipei 101
• When the building
sways in the wind,
• the steel ball will sway
to the opposite
direction due to inertia
• The damper will
either extend or
compress
• absorb the kinetic
energy of the
structure
• reduce the extent of
swaying
Conclusion
• Automatic seismic trip system
• Promotion and education
• Architectural style
