FIP(Friction Isolation Pendulum)

  • HS Code 7308
  • Certification CE (1835-CPD-0013) - Curved and Flat Surface Sliders Isolators
  • Patent
  • Awards
  • Features
    • General
    Bridge bearing that ball bearing system supporting the superstructure does pendulum motion on the smooth friction surface with constant curvature
    • Features
    Important concept for earthquake resistance design to minimize after shock and secondary damages by self-restoration of original structures after earthquake
    Bridge bearing based on plastic strain energy according to yield strength of the material reduces restoration capability more as the energy dissipation capability is higher
    AASHTO 1991, UBC1997 submitted constraints with regard to minimum value of restoring force and cycle after yielding
    Recently Eurocode8- Design of structures for earthquake resistance
    Part2: Bridges prEN 1998-2:2005 submitted constraints with regard to minimum value of restoring force and displacement in restoration

Curved surface sliders

Curved surface sliders use gravity as a recentering force; the operating principle is the same as the pendulum. Energy dissipation is ensured by the friction of the main sliding surface. The parameters for the bilinear constitutive bond depend on the bending radius and friction coefficient.

They are divided into two types, the FIP and FIP-D series, respectively with one or 2 primary sliding surfaces that allow for horizontal displacement.

In the case of very wide displacements we recommend to use double curved sliding isolators (FIP-D), which permit to reduce plan dimensions.

Macroad Co., Ltd. Loving nature and considering safety
Macroad Co., Ltd. has developed and produced key products for new construction and maintenance of bridges and roads based on outstanding technologies as holding new construction technologies, performance certificates and over 70 patents.
Especially,‘Seismic retrofit integrated elastic bridge bearing’and‘Expansion joint replacement method for preserving concrete’ have been developed by ourselves
and received favorably on economic efficiency, safety and workability by customers, and recently we have commercialized friction pendulum system through technical tie-up with FIP in Italy.
Our Macroad Company possesses the technology of noise absorption for development-oriented industrial societies.
And with new technology as our background, we are trying to make harmonious and comfortable living environment through our super-wave noise barrier that has the highest noise absorption ability domestically, Transparent noise barrier that can disjoin, High performance reflective noise barrier that uses the reflection of noise and frequency phase in reducing noise and combination sound-proof tunnel that looks like an art sculpture while functioning as effective sound absorber.
Even if Macroad Co., Ltd has been established on a small but strong rock based on passion and technology and now joined to medium-sized enterprises, and all of
company members are doing their best. We will do our best to be the world best company jumping across our country and work as a company which puts customers first, achives quality management and responsibility management and gives hope and vision to everyone.
