Research and Development of Base Isolated Houses Supported by Laminated Rubber Bearings

这个项目的目的是创造一种综合技术，使建造一座由叠层橡胶支座支撑和隔震的木屋成为可能，以防止大地震。基础隔震房屋所需的关键技术是超级稳定的橡胶支座，这在本研究完成之前一直被认为是不可能的。非线性屈曲理论的发现使人们有可能创造出一种适合于轻型结构(如木质住宅楼)的高阻尼橡胶支座用于基础隔震。在学术意义上的基础研究发展完成后，大学和制造商的合作项目开始将理论成果转化为现实应用。一旦建立起生产细长橡胶支座的大批量生产体系，这项技术将很快在全国范围内广泛推广，向社会提供负担得起的基础隔震房屋。

The purpose of this project is to create a comprehensive technology that makes it possible to build a wooden house supported and isolated by laminated rubber bearings to protect it against large earthquakes.The key technology that is necessary for the base isolated house is the superbly stable rubber bearings, which had been regarded as impossible till this research completed its mission.The discovery in the nonlinear buckling theory, which has never been known until today, makes it possible to create a high damping rubber bearings suitable for the light weight structures such as wooden residential houses for base isolation. After the fundamental research development in the academic sense is completed, the collaborative project between the university and the manufacture began to transform the theoretical findings into realistic applications. Once the mass production system for manufacturing the slender rubber bearings is established, this technology will soon be wide spread over the nation for supplying the affordable base-isolated houses to the society.
