Electro-pro protects our buildings and their value.
Prevention and innovation #PROTECTVALUES
When installed on the top floor of the building, Electro-Pro protects the structure, thanks to its sophisticated technology based on a complex system of artificial intelligence algorithms.
It is the ideal solution to protect the building from earthquake events, and can be used for vibration control, increasing living comfort and alleviating mental anxiety.
HOW DOES ELECTRO-PRO WORK?
Electro-Pro records the movement of the structure in real time and thanks to its control algorithm, calculates the amount of forces needed to minimize back and forth swaying of the building.
Thanks to its central control system, Electro-Pro records the movement of the building through motion sensors applied to the walls and calculates in real time the amount of forces to be delivered to the building to minimize damage and prevent it from collapsing.
ISAAC’s Active Mass Damper system is an active vibration damper, used to reduce or eliminate oscillations in structures. It consists of an oscillating mass, driven by a mechanical actuator, that generates forces to counteract induced movements, such as seismic movements.
WHY IS EARTHQUAKE PROTECTION IMPORTANT?
Earthquake protection of structures is one of the main areas of study of structural engineering, particularly in geographical areas with high earthquake risk. Its goal is to minimize damage to buildings and, therefore, save lives when an earthquake strikes. The culture of earthquake protection is essential to manage prevention activities, to ensure the safety of buildings and their restoration.
For some types of buildings, earthquake protection is a prerequisite; this applies to:
- structures containing hazardous components and materials;
- bridges and viaducts for primary communication channels;
- important hospital buildings;
- strategic structures for the Country;
- museums and artistic monuments.
In recent decades, innovative technologies, such as active systems for earthquake protection, have been added to the traditional approach, based on providing structures a high ductility that allows them to suffer extensive damage without collapsing.
