Nowadays, seismic braces have gradually entered people's lives, but most people know very little about them, or perhaps these people only understand their functions through their names. But today, the editor wants to take you to a deeper understanding of how seismic supports play their role in earthquakes.

Before explaining the working principle of seismic supports during earthquakes, let's first learn some small knowledge about earthquakes. Earthquakes refer to the vibrations caused by the release of energy from the Earth's crust, which produce transverse, longitudinal, and surface waves when they occur. Transverse waves can cause the ground to sway left and right; Longitudinal waves can cause the ground to vibrate up and down; And surface waves are a mixture of these two types of waves. The transverse and surface waves are the ones that cause greater harm to humans, so many seismic measures are aimed at reducing or resisting the horizontal vibration of the ground, and the main function of seismic supports is also the same. The seismic support is installed in a stable triangular structure with slant support on the side. Pipelines without seismic supports installed have no reliable support in the horizontal direction during earthquakes and are prone to falling off. However, for the pipeline protected by the seismic support, the slant support of the seismic support will give the pipeline an oblique upward tension in the earthquake, and this tension has a component force in the horizontal direction, which can be used as the restraint force of the pipeline in the horizontal direction, so as to mitigate the shock caused by the transverse wave and prevent the pipeline from being damaged and falling. Of course, seismic supports also have a strong effect on pipelines in the vertical direction, and can also reduce the damage caused by longitudinal waves during earthquakes. Nowadays, there are also many types of seismic supports, and people can choose corresponding seismic supports for different electromechanical buildings.
