We make you of tomorrow fine.
Proven in The Great East Japan Earthquake!
This is the base-isolated hotel which is strong against earthquakes.
- “We value the life of guests.”
“We offer the best guest room and service having assumed the satisfaction of the guests for the first.” - The conventional proof-earthquake construction had the risk of a functional failure through it could prevent a collapse of the structure.
New system (seismic isolation system) can reduce shaking by insulating a building using laminated rubber from the ground. So it can protect both the structure and its inside.
For example ,when an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 7 is generated , the sensational seismic intensity is about 3.5.
The hotel building and its function doesn’t have any problem too.
Please enjoy a stay in peace.
At Excel Inn Furukawa which is a hotel chain , in Osaki-shi , Miyagi , nothing fell and broke in the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11,2011.
Model display
- The model of the system is displayed in the first-floor lobby.
- ①Seismic isolation U type damper (steel stick)It is damper using the plastic deformation ability of the steel stick.
※plastic deformation ability・・・Ability to support the structure stably even it its form changes.
- ②Laminated rubber isolatorIt have strong rigidity and load support ability between steel sheets.
- ③Lead damperIt is a damper using superior plastic deformation ability of pure lead. It can response to a smaller shock and reduce the impact.
