The 9-magnitude earthquake cannot affect the server room in Japan, why?

The server room of a Japanese company still works normally in a 9-magnitude quake while the buildings next to it are dilapidated, many people are surprised. Without any magic, that miracle comes from the power of Japanese architects' design structure.

Thanks to a security camera in the building, we can see how amazing floor-building technology has kept property safe in the historic Tōhoku earthquake of 2011 in Japan.


People still walk normally on that floor.

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude of 9 magnitude earthquakes occurred outside the Tōhoku coast and caused a massive tsunami that left serious consequences: 15,894 people were killed, 6,152 wounded, 2,562 are still is missing and makes Fukushima nuclear power plant have a serious problem.

However, the server room of Techno Mind Coporation in Sendai City shook violently, but the clusters of servers here were unharmed even though they were still operating normally during the earthquake thanks to the ground floor. shock.

Seismic isolation floors are a combination of a number of design elements to separate a large architectural block from the vibrating bottom to protect the entire building block intact. Thus, houses and buildings are protected from earthquakes and vibrate in general.


This model will show you the effect of seismic isolation floor.

This famous architectural structure is one of the important tools in seismic engineering and is also related to the vibration control technique of passive structures. The seismic isolation floor allows a building or any structure building to "survive" through earthquakes caused by an earthquake. This anti-earthquake method can be applied right at the start of the construction phase, or it can also be added to the existing architectural blocks.

In particular, this structure can be applied to large buildings, or installed separately in a single room, to protect assets in the risk room of an earthquake. Based on the server room of the Japanese company in the above video, an isolated floor system was installed so the entire internal system could continue to operate throughout the earthquake.
