Abstract

PURPOSE:To exert a vibration isolating effect in all directions on each horizontal plane of a structure concerned by configuring the structure from a central framing and a peripherframing surrounding it, and furnishing damping devices which couple the upper sides of these framings with each other. CONSTITUTION:When tremors in horizontal direction are generated in a structure 15 owing to an earthquake, etc., the central framing 17 and peripheral framing 19 vibrate with different periods inherent in their respective shapes. Accordingly a horizontal direction relative displacement is generated between the two framings 17, 19, and a damping device 21 is actuated to exert the vibration isolating effect. A pair of such damping devices 21 are installed at each of the four corners of the central framing 17 in such an arrangement as perpendicularly intersecting the horizontal lane and coupled with the two framings 17, 19 through pin joints 23 of universal type, which enables suppressing the tremors in any direction as long as it lies in the horizontal plane. In the case the structure 15 is of sky-scraper type, a flexural deformation is generated as a whole. and even though this flexural deformation generates a relative displacement in vertical direction between the two framings 17, 19, two pin joints 3, 35 fold to prevent flexural deformation of the floor 31.

2. Description of the Related Art There are various techniques for controlling the vibration of structures such as buildings. For example, the one shown in FIG.
A brace 5 in which a damping device 3 is incorporated is provided in a part of a frame 1 of a building (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-148775, etc.).
