 Difference between earthquake proof,
base isolation and response control
【Earthquake proof 】
A structure built to withstand earthquakes up to severe magnitude. Interior damage may not be prevented.­

【Base isolation】
Structure uses horizontally elastic isolation devices between ground base and building structure. By lengthening
the natural period and slowing vibration reduces damage to the inside of the structure.

【Response control】
Structure uses vibration dampening devices to reduce damage to the structure. Most effective against a wide
range of magnitude and irregular period of earthquakes.

Earthquake proof Base isolation

● Withstand vibration ● Isolate from vibration
● Strong vibration ● Slow and large vibration

Response control
● Control vibration
● Reduce vibration Effect by HIBUILDAM
HIBUILDAM reduces both story drift angle and shear force by up
to 35-45%
(25 story-Building)

 Hydraulic vibration damper HIBUILDAM

HIBUILDAM is a passive hydraulic vibration controlling device which uses fluid resistance
of oil to absorb building vibration.
HIBUILDAM absorbs the vibration caused by large earthquakes or strong wind and have
been widely applied from super high to low buildings. Improving earthquake protection and
dwelling ability.

 Characteristics
①Bilinearised damping force-velocity curve suppresses excessive force to the building in big earthquakes.

②Steady performance in temperature variation and excitation frequency variation.(Ref: page 10)

③Minimising backlash allows stable damping performance in small amplitude vibration.

④Excellent durability, features long lasting seals and high quality oil.

⑤Easy to install with high strength bolts.

⑥Oil pressure monitoring bar to check oil level. *Optional

⑦Ball joints follow the in-plane and out-of-plane displacements.
