This report contains the Innovative Anti-Seismic Systems User Manual, which was prepared by all partners of Sub-Project 6 at the conclusion of the LESSLOSS Project. The aim of this User Manual is to provide potential Designers and End users of the antiseismic devices developed within Sub-Project 6 of the LESSLOSS project with practical tools to design structures incorporating such devices. The document contains a description of the main features and performance of the devices and instructions for their design, installation and maintenance. Comparisons among different types are also provided, so as to help the User to choose the most suitable device. The antiseismic devices developed in the framework of Sub-Project 6 are:
1. Low Stiffness Isolators (LSIs), particularly addressed to the seismic isolation of light structures like family houses;
2. Electroinductive Dampers (DECS), energy dissipators suitable for the seismic protection of large structures like bridges;
3. Steel Hysteretic elements coupled with flat sliders, addressed to the isolation of viaducts and bridges;
4. Sliding Isolation Pendulum, curved surface sliders for the protection of buildings and other structures.
Devices 1 and 2 are developed by ALGA, Italy. Devices 3 and 4 are developed by MAURER Söhne, Germany. All the devices have been subjected to severe qualification tests. Moreover, all of them have been tested on the ENEA shaking table in real seismic conditions using natural and synthetic acceleration time-histories implemented by ENEA. STAP and VINCI, design and construction companies, contributed to the optimization of the devices and the preparation of this document.
