Abstract:
1. A seismic isolation and snubber system for a building, comprising: an absorber system installed under the building, comprising first bearing carriers with snubbers underneath and used to eliminate vertical and horizontal vibrations of the building; a multilayer sliding system installed under the absorber system, comprising second bearing carriers with sliding shoes underneath, wherein each sliding shoe having a bottom contacting a multilayer stack structure composed of several units of dish gliding slabs, and positions of the several units being actively changed for yielding earthquake-induced horizontal vibrations; hydraulic oil pressure systems arranged with the multilayer sliding system at regular intervals, used to sustain the building or eliminate a load applied on the building; a processing unit electrically connected to the hydraulic oil pressure systems, receiving a seismic wave signal to activate each hydraulic oil pressure system for elimination of the load applied on the building, wherein the dish gliding slabs of each of the multilayer stack structures have concave surfaces and are sustained in an assembled state by a hemispheric socket, wherein the sliding shoe, a first dish gliding slab of the dish gliding slabs contacted by the sliding shoe, and each following dish gliding slab of the dish gliding slabs are in contact with one another and are sized that each multistack structure is formed with each adjacent sliding shoe, first dish gliding slab, and each following dish gliding slab are tightly in contact with each other.
