SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ING BASE ISOLATION
AGAINST SEISMIC ACTIVITY
Cross Reference to Related Application
This application is a continuing application claiming priority to U.S. Application
Serial No. 14/106,240, filed December 13, 2013, entitled “Systems and Methods for
Providing Base Isolation against Seismic Activity,” which claims ty to US. Provisional
Application Serial No. 61/793,172, filed on March 15, 2013, entitled “Methods and
Apparatus for ing Base Isolation to Protect Against Earthquake Damage,” each of
which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Field of the Disclosure
The present disclosure generally s to seismic isolation systems, and more
particularly to systems and methods for providing base isolation against seismic activity,
blast waves, and the like.
Background
Seismic isolation systems, such as floors or plates designed to isolate equipment
from sudden foundational shifis can be ant in s applications. In particular,
seismic base isolation s are oftentimes powerful tools of earthquake engineering and
often used to isolate non-structural ts of a building and/or sensitive equipment against
sudden ground motions, which may be caused by a seismic event, such as earthquake, a
natural event, a blast wave, etc. Typical applications for seismic isolation systems including
buildings with high value , such as data centers, hospitals, museums, manufacturers
with critical equipment, warehouses, laboratories and/or any application where it is important
to protect critical . The goal of any seismic isolation system is to maximize safety,
business uity, and preservation of irreplaceable items.
For example, US. Patent Application No. 13/578,868 discloses a seismic isolation
device including a tabular base board having a plurality of curved convex protrusions formed
thereon and a sliding plate having a g contact surface that is gly in contact with the
plurality of curved convex protrusions and placed on a side of the convex protrusions of the
base board, wherein the sliding t surface of the sliding plate includes a plurality of
high—friction portions arranged corresponding to the plurality of curved convex protrusions
and enabling stable rest in a contact state with the plurality of the curved convex protrusions
and a sliding surface other than the high-fiiction portions that has a lower apparent friction
coefficient than the high-friction portions.
For r example, PCT Patent Application No. discloses a
method for installing seismic isolation floor which comprises: a base disposition step in
which a plurality ofplanar bases, each formed by arranging a plurality ofupward convex
curved surface ns on the upper surface thereof, are disposed on the upper e of a
floor by being installed on a plurality of lines of double-sided tape attached to the upper
surface of the floor approximately parallel to each other; and a glide plate installation step in
which a plurality ofplanar glide plates each having an approximately flat shaped lower
surface are installed on the bases.
One nge in designing a seismic isolation system of this type of construction is
to construct a base plate having an appropriate coefficient of friction. Seismic isolation
systems require low coefficients of kinetic and static fiiction so that when the ground or the
foundational surface shakes, the supported body does not move. However, if the coefficient
of static fiiction is too low, the supported body may easily move during regular use. The
nge in designing a seismic isolation system is to identify coefficients of static and
kinetic fiiction that meet both needs.
The other challenge is to design a damping system for providing displacement
l during a seismic event. While tional damping systems usually require external
curb or dampers to limit the movement of a seismic isolation system, the challenge is to
design a damping system that uses internal rs and dampers to save space.

Detailed Description
The following description of example methods and apparatus is not intended to
limit the scope of the description to the precise form or forms detailed herein. Instead, the
following description is ed to be rative so that others may follow its teachings.
Described herein is a technology for, among other things, providing base isolation
to protect non-structural contents of a ng and/or sensitive equipment from sudden
ground motions, such as an earthquake, blast wave, or other event. In one example, the
disclosure relates to a seismic isolation system comprising at least a base plate and a top
plate. The base plate is positioned above a foundation, such as a ground, floor, ng, tile,
and/or any other suitable foundational ure. For example, the base plate can be attached
to or fixed on the tion. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that a foundation
can be any supporting layer of a structure, and a floor can be the walking surface of a room,
which may vary from simple dirt to many-layered es using modern technology, such as
stone, wood, bamboo, metal, or any other material that can hold a person’s or ent’s
weight.
In addition, the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the top plate and
the base plate can prevent relative movement ofthe two plates with normal operation and yet
allow the top plate to move relative to the base plate during a seismic event. In particular, the
coefficient of kinetic friction is low so that the top plate can move relative to the base plate
during a seismic event, but not too low in order to maintain the stability of the system when
the top plate is moving; the coefficient of static friction is low so that the top plate can begin
the movement when a seismic event occurs, but is sufficiently high to prevent the relative
movement ofthe two plates with normal operation.
In one example, the bottom surface ofthe base plate is in communication with the
foundation and the top surface of the base plate is in communication with the top plate. The
bottom e ofthe base plate is textured, so that the interface between the base plate and
the foundation is not smooth. The top surface ofthe base plate is also textured while, in
contrast, the bottom surface of the top plate (which interfaces with the base plate) is smooth
or non-textured, resulting in the d ients of kinetic and static friction n the
top and base plates. In another example, an additional material (e.g., a lubricating fluid) may
be ted between the base plate and the top plate to achieve an optimal or d
coefficient of fiction.
In one example, the base plate and the top plate may be designed to an optimal
thickness. For example, each plate may be a maximum of about 4mm thick. In another
example, the base plate and/or the top plate may be corrosion-resistant.
In another example, the disclosed base plate is textured with diamond-shaped
ridges. Such diamond-shaped ridges create a ed surface and optimize the coefficients
of static and kinetic on between the base plate and the top plate in order to maximize the
stability of seismic isolation system both while the foundation is moving, and when the
foundation is not moving.
In ance with the t disclosure, a sliding surface (e.g., foundation, base
plate, or top plate) has a coating in order to achieve the desired coefficients of kinetic and
static friction. The coating may be made of a material such as ter. For instance, in one
example, the base plate is made of a suitable material (e.g., steel) and coated with polyester
cidyl isocyanurate (TGIC polyester), a commercially available polyester powder
coating. In another e, the sliding surface is coated with a silicone-epoxy, low surface
energy coating.
In operation, the disclosed seismic isolation system is first placed above (e.g., fixed
on) a foundation. For example, the base plate of the seismic isolation system can be attached
directly to a ground, floor, building, or floor tiles via adhesive, fasten, or other suitable
mechanism or methods. In another example, an epoxy plate can be placed between the base
plate and the floor. Afler the base plate is installed, the top plate is then placed above the
base plate. Alternatively, an additional material (e.g., lubricate liquid) may be added between
the base plate and the top plate to achieve the desired ients of kinetic and static
friction. Moreover, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the number, size, and
shape of the plate or plates may vary as desired.
Further, an object to be protected is placed above the top plate of the system. The
object is usually a high value content and/or sensitive ent, such as critical equipment
in data centers, hospitals, museums, manufactures, warehouses, and laboratories but may be
any item as desired. Of course, it will be understood by one or ordinary skill in the art that
the worth ofthe object is irrelevant to the seismic isolation system described. In one
example, the object is attached directly to the top plate while in , the item merely rests
upon the top plate. In still another example, the object (e.g., server cabinet) may be bolted to
a slab (e.g., 4 inches concrete slab) with the slab then placed or poured directly on the top
plate.
In still other ces, the object may be placed on a raised access floor, where
cable or air flow in the access floor is unrestricted. The raised access floor can be a raised
floor providing an elevated structural floor above the solid foundation to create a hidden void
for the passage ofmechanical and electrical services. For example, the raised access floors
are widely used in command centers, IT data centers, and computer rooms, where there is a
requirement to route mechanical service, cable, wiring, and ical supply. Such a raised
access floor may be directly ed to the top plate of the seismic isolation system. In other
examples, the object may be placed on a raised access floor while the raised access floor is
bolted to a slab (e.g., 4 inches concrete slab) resting on the top plate, wherein the object may
be bolted to the concrete slab as well.
In another example, one or more external dampers or neoprene pads are mounted
beside the raised access floor or the concrete slab resting on the top plate, in order to limit
and/or damp the movement ofthe raised access floor or the concrete slab in an uake.
For example, the external dampers may be mounted on the sidewalls in the corner and
displacement of the top plate relative to the bottom plate may be limited by such damper
units. The access floor can also be strengthened in the corner to e resistance to the
s. Another example is that a perimeter or “moat” gap can be cushioned by external
dampers so that the concrete slab’s displacements are limited.
The present disclosure also relates to a seismic ion system with a damping
system. In one example, a seismic isolation system includes a base plate; a top plate
positioned above the base plate and capable ofmoving relative to the top plate; and a
damping system comprising a slab (e.g., concrete slab) positioned on the upper surface of the
top plate and capable of moving together with the top plate, wherein the slab comprises one
or more recessed areas at its bottom, and under the recessed area at least part of the base plate
is uncovered by the top plate. The damping system can further include one or more internal
dampers (e.g., neoprene dampers) d on the uncovered part of the base plate or the
tion under the recessed area and capable of limiting or damping the movement ofthe
slab.
The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the top plate and the base
plate may prevent ve movement of the two plates with normal operation and yet allow
the top plate to move relative to the base plate during a seismic event. For instance, the base
plate has a textured top surface and the top plate has a xtured bottom e, and
optionally at least one of the top surface or the bottom surface of the base plate is textured
with diamond-shaped ridges.
In one e, the disclosed base plate can be installed on a foundation. The top
plate positioned above the base plate can slide on the base plate in an earthquake due to the
low coefficient of kinetic fi'iction, yet retain its stability with normal operation of the building
due to the d coefficient of static friction. In one example, the concrete slab rests on the
top plate and the internal dampers are within the concrete slab, i.e., within the internal
chamber d by the recessed area and the plate under such area. Because these intemal
dampers are mounted on the base plate, when the concrete slab or the top plate moves on the
base plate in an earthquake, the internal s are capable ofproviding displacement
control by icating with or sliding along inside concrete wall(s) of the internal
chamber.
In one example, the dampers are designed to operate in compression only. During
an earthquake, the isolated slab moves in both X and Y directions of the horizontal plane.
The dampers may be designed to be compressed against the contacting surface (e.g., the
inside concrete wall) in the longitudinal direction and to slide along in the lateral direction
with a minimal shear force. In one example, the sliding/damping surfaces comprise mirror
finish diamond deformed ess steel plate t a low surface energy coated plate. The
dampers may have a thickness between 2.5 to 4 inches and/or depth between 8 to 10 inches in
order to be installed within the slab. The dampers may also be restrained from buckling by
the foundation below and the cover slab above.
In one example, any or all of the sliding surfaces in this seismic isolation system
(e.g., base plate, top plate, damper face, or inside concrete wall) have a coating to achieve
desired coefficients of kinetic and static friction. Examples of the g include polyester
triglycidyl isocyanurate and a low surface energy coating (e.g., waterborne, silicone-epoxy
material). For instance, at least one of the base plate, the face of the damper, or the inside
wall is made of a al (e.g., steel) and coated with polyester triglycidyl isocyanurate or a
silicone-epoxy, low surface energy material. In one example, the face of the damper and/or
the inside wall may comprise the same material as the base plate and optionally are textured
with d-shaped ridges. Still in another example, a lubricant is deposited n the
g surfaces to achieve the desired coefficients of static and kinetic friction.
The design of compressed dampers and coating for sliding/damping surfaces allows
inside walls of the slab to slide along the face of s. Without such design, any shear
forces would damage the dampers during the earthquake. By sliding along the face ofthe
damper, however, the damage is eliminated and the forces are transferred longitudinally into
the damper for maximum damping effect.
As described above, this seismic isolation system with al damping system
does not require external curb or dampers to be installed. Additionally, cable, , or
electrical equipment can be placed within the ed areas, particularly useful for
installation of a data center. Moreover, one of ordinary skill in the art will ize that the
size, location, shape, and number of the recessed area(s) may vary according to the desired
configuration of a room.
The present disclosure also relates to methods for providing base isolation against
earthquake forces. The disclosed method includes at least one of the following steps:
installing a base plate on a foundation (e.g., floor or ground), wherein the base plate has a
textured top surface; optionally adding an additional material (e.g., lubricating fluid) on the
base plate; installing a top plate on the base plate, wherein the top plate has a non-textured
bottom surface; optionally ling a slab (e.g., a concrete slab) above the top plate;
optionally installing a raised access floor above the top plate or the slab; installing an
equipment above the top plate, wherein the equipment is ally bolted to the slab or the
raised access floor; optionally installing external s beside the slab or the raised access
floor, or installing internal dampers within the slab, n a desired coefficient of kinetic
friction n the base plate and the top plate s the top plate to move in an
earthquake, but retain the stability in regular use absent sudden ground motions, wherein the
external dampers or internal dampers are capable ofproviding displacement control in the
earthquake.
Turing to , FIGS. 1A and 1B together illustrate an example base plate 100 in
accordance with the present disclosure. FIGS. 1A and 1B depict a top and side View ofthe
disclosed base plate 100, respectively. As shown in , the example base plate 100 is
textured with diamond-shaped ridges, although any type ofridges and/or protrusions will
suffice. In particular, depicts three nt ridge regions 10, 20, 30. The ridge
regions 10, 20, 30 alternate in the sense that the ridge region 10 and the ridge region 30 are
parallel to each other. In the meantime, the ridge region 20 is complementary, or in other
words, phase shifted as compared to the ridge regions 10 and 30. Further, each ofridge
regions 10, 20, 30 ses multiple wide portions 5 and narrow portions 15.
As shown in the wide portion 5 of each ridge region is raised, while the
narrow portion 15 of each ridge region is depressed. Moreover, the wide ridge portions 5 are
raised on both the top and bottom es of the base plate 100. In this way, the
alternatingly-raised, complementary ridge regions create a textured surface. The disclosed
diamond-shaped ridges optimize both the coefficients of static and kinetic on between
the base plate 100 and a top plate 102 ( in order to maximize the stability of the
seismic isolation system both while the foundation is moving, and when the foundation is not
moving. The base plate 100 or the top plate 102 may be designed to an optimal thickness.
For example, each plate may be a maximum of 4 mm thick.
In accordance with the present sure, the coating of any sliding surface (e.g.,
base plate, top plate, foundation, face of damper, and inside wall of slab) may be made of a
material, such as polyester or low surface energy coating, in order to optimize the coefficients
of static and kinetic friction. Tables 1-3 are data sheets describing the properties of three
example coating materials, i.e., polyester triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC polyester), a
orne, silicone-epoxy, low surface energy coating (“EC-2600”), and a silicone-epoxy
coating (“EC-2400”). As shown in Table 1, the coating is made ofpolyester triglycidyl
isocyanurate (TGIC polyester), a commercially available polyester powder coating. Table 2
shows that the coating may also be made of “EC-2600,” a orne, silicone-epoxy, low
surface energy coating having excellent release, slip, and on resistance properties along
with a broad range of adhesion capabilities to various substrates. As shown in Table 3, the
coating is made of “EC-2400,” a ne-epoxy coating used in areas where maximum
abrasion resistance, low surface energy, coupled with good non-stick, easy clean properties
are required ing floors. In one example, the epoxy-silicone coating EC-2600 may be
used to achieve 2% on; and the coating 0 may be used to e 5% friction. In
one example, the epoxy-silicone g EC-2400 or EC-2600 may be sprayed with airless or
conventional spray equipment. The suggested spray equipment and settings are shown in

FIGS. 2-5 illustrate various configurations of the seismic isolation system in
accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in the seismic isolation system
200, which includes the base plate 100 and the moveable top plate 102 oned above the
base plate 100 (collectively called sliding plates 202), is placed above a foundation 204. The
foundation 204 can be a floor, a , floor, ng, floor tiles, or any other suitable base.
The concrete slab 206 is placed above the g plates 202, and in this example is anchored
to the sliding plate 102. In one e, the concrete slab 206 has a thickness of about four
inches. The objects (e.g., server cabinets 208) are bolted directly to the concrete slab 206. In
case of an earthquake or sudden ground motions, the desired coefficient of kinetic friction
between the top and base plates allows the top plate 102, together with the concrete slab 206
and server cabinets 208 above the top plate 102, to slide or move, while the desired
coefficient of static friction between the two sliding plates 202 prevent g with normal
operation. As such, the motion between the base plate 100 and the top plate 102 isolates the
server cabinets 208 from earthquake accelerations. In some examples, this configuration may
be utilized for ground floor or overhead cabling and cooling.
provides r e configuration of the seismic isolation system 300
in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in an epoxy plate 304, which
can be fixed on the foundation 306, is placed between the foundation 306 and the sliding
plates 302 (i.e., the base plate and the le top plate above the base plate) of the seismic
isolation system 300. A raised access floor 308 (e.g., a rd raised access floor) is
attached directly to the sliding plates 302. The sever cabinets 310 or other objects to be
isolated can be positioned on top of the raised access floor 308. Additionally, cable or air
flow in access floor is not restricted.
illustrates another example configuration ofthe seismic isolation system 400
in ance with the present disclosure. In the sliding plates 402 (i.e., the base
plate and the top plate above the base plate) of the seismic isolation system 400 are
positioned above the tion 404 and below the concrete slab 406. In one example, the
concrete slab has a thickness of about 4 inches. The standard raised access floor 408 is
placed above and bolted to the concrete slab 406 g on the sliding plates 402. The server
cabinets 410 or other objects to be protected are placed above the raised access floor 408, and
optionally are bolted to the concrete slab 406 as well. In one example, a perimeter or “moat”
gap beside the concrete slab is cushioned by neoprene s. Therefore, when the top
plate, together with the concrete slab 406 and the server cabinets 410, is moving in an
earthquake, their displacements are limited by the external dampers beside the concrete slab
406.
Another example is shown in in accordance with the t disclosure.
The raised access floor 504 is positioned on the sliding plates 502 (i.e., the base plate and the
top plate above the base plate) of the seismic isolation system 500. The desired coefficients
of kinetic and static friction n the top plate and the base plate permit the motion
between the base plate and the top plate to isolate the raised access floor 504 against
earthquake forces. Meanwhile, the d coefficient of static friction between the two
plates prevents such motion during normal operation. Further, external dampers 506 are
mounted at the comers in the proximity ofthe raised access floor 504. Accordingly, these
external dampers 506 are capable of limiting the slide of the raised access floor 504 during an
earthquake or other sudden ground motions.
Turning to FIGS. 6-10, these figures illustrate various examples of a seismic
isolation system of the present sure with internal damping system. Such es do
not require al curb or dampers, but it will be understood that external devices may be
used as desired. In specific, as shown in the base plate 602 of the seismic isolation
system 600 can be placed on a ground or foundation. The top plate 604 is positioned above
the base plate 602, and the te slab 606 is then positioned above the top plate 604. The
installed concrete slab has one or more recessed areas at its bottom and thus creates internal
r(s) between the recessed areas and the plates thereunder. For example, the concrete
slab 606 has four holes at its four , respectively. Each hole has a hole cover, so that
once the holes are covered, the concrete slab has a flat top surface and four recessed areas at
its bottom surface. shows hole covers 608, 610, and 612, under each a recessed area is
being created. For illustration es, FIGS. 6 and 7 also show an uncovered hole 614 to
illustrate the internal ure of the recessed area. For areas exposed in the whole 614, at
ieast part of the base plate 602 is uncovered by the top plate 604, so that dampers 616 can be
mounted on the base plate 602. Similarly, under each ofhole covers 608, 610, and 612 or
recessed areas created thereunder, one or more dampers 616 are mounted on the part of the
base plate that is uncovered by the top plate. As such, the dampers 616 are within the
te slab 606. In an earthquake, the motion between the top plate 604 and the base plate
602 isolates the concrete slab 606, as well as s on the top of the concrete slab 606. In
the meantime, the dampers 616 within the concrete slab 606 can provide necessary
displacement control, by communicating with the inside walls 618. The dampers 616 can be
in communication with different inside walls in order to provide control in different
directions.
In one example, the dampers 616 are designed to operate in compression only.
During an earthquake, the concrete slab 606 moves in both X and Y directions of the
horizontal plane. The dampers 616 may be designed to be compressed t the inside
walls 618 in the longitudinal direction and to be able to slide along the concrete walls 618 in
the lateral direction with a minimal shear force. In one example, the sliding/damping
surfaces (e.g., the faces of the dampers 616 and the inside walls 618) comprise mirror finish
diamond ed stainless steel plate against a low surface energy coated plate. In another
example, the face of the dampers 616 ses a textured material, such as the same
material as the base plate, and/or has a coating, such as polyester triglycidyl isocyanurate or a
low surface energy coating (e.g., EC 2600 for 2% friction). Similarly, the inside walls 618,
which are in communication with the face of the dampers 616, may also include a textured
material and/or a coating (e.g., EC 2600).
As shown in this configuration can be used in a data center to provide base
isolation and protect server cabinets 802 from earthquake damages. In one e, server
ts 802 are placed in two rows above the concrete slab 606. Eight dampers 618 are
mounted within the four corner areas of the concrete slab 606 as described above.
Moreover, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that the size, number,
and locations of the internal s and/or the recessed areas may vary based on different
needs and/or configurations ofrooms. FIGS. 9-10 illustrate another two example
configurations. shows a two-row configuration, where server cabinets 902 are placed
in two rows on the concrete slab 904. The concrete slab 904 includes three “H”-shaped
recessed areas 906, 908, and 910 at its bottom. Under each ed area, four dampers 912
are mounted in the proximity to the lls of the recessed area. ingly, the dampers
912 can limit the motion of the concrete slab 904 in case of an earthquake.
In r example, shows a three-row configuration where server cabinets
1002 are placed in three rows on the concrete slab 1004. The concrete slab 1004 has four
“L”-shaped recessed areas 1006, 1008, 1010, and 1012 at the corners. Under each recessed
area, two dampers 1014 are mounted. In addition, the concrete slab 1004 has a square
recessed area 1016 in the center. Four additional dampers 1018 are mounted in the proximity
to the sidewalls of the recessed area 1016 for providing cement control.
is a photo showing an example base plate 1102, an example top plate 1104,
and an example damper 1106 in accordance with the present sure. The base plate 1102
and the top plate 1104 have a shape of rectangle (e.g., square). In one example, the damper
1106 is made of a ne sponge material. Tables 5-8 are data sheets describing the
properties of four example neoprene damper materials, i.e., “4216-S,” “41 16-S”, “4311—N,”
and “4511-N.”

In another example, the face of the damper 1106 may comprise a textured al,
such as the same material as the textured surface of the base plate, and/or a coating (e.g.,
coating EC 2600 for 2% friction) to achieve desired coefficients of static and kinetic friction.
In operation, the face of the damper 1106 may be in communication with an inside wall of a
slab, wherein the contacting surface of the inside wall may also comprise a textured material
.(e. g., the same material as the base plate) and/or a g (e.g., EC 2600) to reduce shear
forces and to allow the slab to slide along the face of the damper without damage. Moreover,
one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the size or shape of each plate or damper
may vary as desired.
is a photo depicting the installation process of a seismic isolation system in
accordance with the present disclosure. The base plates 1202 include multiple lines of
rectangle plates attached to the upper e of the foundation 1206. The top plates 1204
include le gle plates installed on the base plate 1202. One of ordinary skill in the
art will also recognize that the number, size, or shape of each plate to be installed may vary as
desired.
Referring now to FIGS. 13-16, there is illustrated an example pedestal base
isolation system assembly 1300. In this e, the assembly 1300 includes a base plate
1310, such as the base plate 100, and a top plate 1312, such as the top plate 102. As with at
least some of the previous examples, the base plate 1310 and the top plate 1312 are slidably
coupled such that the plates do not slide under normal operation, but are capable of sliding
relative to one another during a seismic event. Further, in this e at least one of the
base plate 1310 and the top plate 1312 comprise a coating, such as a polymer, to influence the
coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction to affect the desired nt
teristics.
As illustrated in , the base plate 1310 may include an anchoring layer 1314,
such as for instance, a high-friction layer such as a rubber, a tic rubber, adhesive, or
any other suitable layer. In the illustrated example, the layer 1314 is a neoprene
(polychloroprene) layer to significantly prevent relative nt between the base plate
1310 and the flooring upon which it rests while also substantially preventing damage to the
flooring by eliminating the need for floor fasteners, and preventing scratches, marks, etc.
This anchoring layer 1314 may be especially useful in situations where the assembly 1300 is
utilized in delicate locations, such as for instance, on the floor of a museum, historical
location, etc.
Referring to the top plate 1312, the example top plate 1312 includes a pedestal
1316, and optional receiver plates 1318, 1320. It will be appreciated that the receiver plates
1318, 1320 may be individually ated and/or ated into the construction of the
pedestal 1316 as desired. In this example, each of the al 1316 and the er plates
1318, 1320, include at least one fastening aperture 1322 such that the plates 1318, 1320 can
be fastened (e.g., bolted) to the pedestal 1316 if necessary. Furthermore, as illustrated in
, the apertures 1322 may be utilized to fasten a suitable support device to the
assembly 1300 as desired. For instance, in the illustrated example the assembly 1300 may be
utilized to support a museum quality statute (not shown) via a le s 1330 which
may be fastened to any ofthe pedestal 1316 and plates 1318, 1320, as desired. In particular,
in the illustrated example, the harness 1330 includes a mounting plate 1332, an additional
pedestal 1334, a supporting arm 1336, and a pair of supports 1338. In this example, the
supports 1338 are custom molded to t a statue having an irregular base, and the
example support arm 1336 is adapted to mechanically couple to the statue directly and/or
through braces, brackets, etc. It will be appreciate by one of ordinary skill in the art that the
arrangement and construction ofthe harness 1330 may vary according to the desired support
characteristics.
{0062] Still further, it will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that the
pedestal 1316, plates 1318, 1320, and/or harness 1330 may be arranged into any suitable
shape, size, weight, etc. In the present example, at least the pedestal 1316 comprises a light
weight design. For ce, as illustrated in , the example pedestal 1316 comprises
an expanded aluminum structure having a lightweight, honeycomb ement 1350. In this
instance, the pedestal 1316 provides a sufficient strength to tely support the object
mounted to the assembly 1300, while reducing the weight and material usage ofthe pedestal,
which may provide benefits, such as ease of installation, etc. It will be iated, however,
that the material choice and construction of any component of the ly 1300 may be
modified and/or chosen as desired or required for the c support application.
