🔧 Advancing Seismic Resilience with Innovative Dissipative Systems We, at Applied Science International, LLC - ASI, were engaged by MEDITERRANEA srls to provide technical support in the development of an advanced seismic dissipative bracing system based on innovative Seismic Elastomer Joints (GAE - Giunti Antisismici Elastomerici). 💡 Using our proprietary software Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS), we: ✅ Developed a high-fidelity numerical model of the GAE device. ✅ Simulated its performance under seismic loading conditions. ✅ Evaluated its effectiveness in reducing structural displacements. 📊 Several sensitivity analyses were carried out assessing the effect of stiffness, damping, and prestress on the overall seismic behavior of the building. 🚀 The results demonstrate how performance-based simulation can support the design and optimization of next-generation seismic protection systems for buildings. 🎥 Watch the video to see the system in action: https://lnkd.in/dRDRtwva #StructuralEngineering #SeismicDesign #EarthquakeEngineering #SeismicRetrofitting #EngineeringInnovation #PerformanceBasedDesign #StructuralAnalysis #ResilientInfrastructure #CivilEngineering #ExtremeLoading #Simulation #SeismicProtection #DissipativeSystems #ASI #ELS #ExtremeLoadingforStructures
