The friction pendulum isolation bearing uses the period of the arc sliding surface to prolong the vibration period of the building, and greatly reduces the amplification effect caused by the earthquake.
The friction pendulum isolation bearing is composed of the upper and lower connecting plates of the spherical surface and the sliding block of the internal spherical crown body. The upper structure is supported on the sliding block through the upper connecting plate. When an earthquake occurs, the horizontal force of the upper structure overcomes the friction between the spherical sliding surface and the sliding block, and takes the center distance of the spherical surface as the pendulum length, which makes the sitting pendulum movement. The seismic energy will be consumed in the form of friction heat generation in the continuous swing of the superstructure.
