Anti-Seismic Devices
Also Known As:
This standard, BS EN 15129:2018, focuses on anti-seismic devices used in structures. Its purpose is to outline requirements and guidelines for the design, material characteristics, manufacturing, testing, installation, and maintenance of these devices. The standard covers different types of devices and their combinations, aiming to modify the response of structures to seismic activity.
The standard specifies functional requirements for the devices in both seismic and non-seismic design situations, emphasizing the need to modify the structure's response to seismic action. It also provides general design rules that ensure the devices' effectiveness in mitigating seismic forces.
Furthermore, the standard includes provisions for the assessment and verification of the constancy of performance of the devices, highlighting the need for consistent performance over time. It emphasizes the importance of proper installation and maintenance to ensure the devices' functionality throughout their lifespan.
For additional information, Annex A of the standard offers further insights into the scope of BS EN 15129:2018.
