This project develops a novel vibration-assisted friction damper to enhance the earthquake resilience of timber buildings. By absorbing seismic energy and allowing structures to re-center, the technology aims to reduce damage and repair costs during earthquakes.
On average, earthquakes in Europe claim over 1,000 lives and cost 8.5 billion EUR in damages every year.
Globally, these numbers rise to 36,000 lives and 35 billion EUR.
The high costs are related to the fact that buildings are currently designed to avoid collapse in earthquakes but sustain extensive damage in the process.
The widespread damage is often difficult to repair, making demolition the more economical option.
This was the case in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand that wip…
