An antiseismic energy dissipator for structures such as viaducts and the like

摘要

An energy dissipator (2) for interposition between parts of a structure (1), for example, between a support structure (3, 4, 5, 6) and a deck (7) of a viaduct (1), protecting the structure (1) in the event of an earthquake in an effective and consistent manner which conforms to expectations even a very long time after installation and also in the event of repeated operation, comprises an electrical generator (8) interposed between the parts and operated by relative movement between the parts as a result of the earthquake.
