摘要

An object, such as a building, provided with a system for preventing damage from earthquakes to the object, said system comprising: a foundation (1) guide means (2) mounted on said foundation and on said object arranged to allow relative displacement between the object and the foundation; at least one actuator (3) arranged to displace said object relative to said foundation; said at least one actuator being connected to a central processing unit; said central processing unit being connected to at least one displacement sensor; said at least one displacement sensor being arranged to detect in real time displacement and to input in real time data about said displacement to said central processing unit; and said processing unit being programmed to activate in real time said actuator in dependence on said data in such a manner that said object is displaced relative to said foundation in real time.
