Seismic Isolation of Bridges Using the Principle of Electromagnetic Attraction and Repulsion

Seismic Isolation of Bridges Using the Principle of Electromagnetic Attraction and Repulsion

This paper presents a new type of seismic isolator that uses the principle of electromagnetic attraction and repulsion, to control the friction force between two electromagnets during earthquakes. The two electromagnets are used in conjunction with a secondary high friction dissipating and damping m...
