制震(せいしん)

せいしん
noun
vibration damping; seismic damping
1. vibration damping; seismic damping
A construction technology that reduces a building's shaking during an earthquake by installing dampers that absorb seismic energy. Distinguished from 耐震(たいしん) (making the structure strong enough to resist quakes) and 免震(めんしん) (isolating the building from ground motion).
制震(せいしん)構造(こうぞう)の建物(たてもの)。
a building with a damping structure
このビルは制震(せいしん)装置(そうち)を備(そな)えている。
This building is equipped with damping devices.
地震(じしん)の揺(ゆ)れを制震(せいしん)技術(ぎじゅつ)で抑(おさ)える。
to reduce earthquake shaking with damping technology

Construction-industry term; one of three main earthquake-countermeasure approaches.

COMMON COLLOCATIONS:

  • 制震(せいしん)構造(こうぞう): damping structure
  • 制震(せいしん)装置(そうち): damping device, damper
  • 制震(せいしん)ダンパー: seismic damper

SIMILAR WORDS:

  • 耐震(たいしん): earthquake resistance — making the structure itself strong enough to withstand shaking
  • 免震(めんしん): base isolation — separating the building from ground motion with isolators
