The following images, photographs, illustrations, videos and media or "500 years earthquake protection for Great Mosque of Algiers" include visual details and information about this product or case study.

A SIP sliding pendulum bearing and two horizontally adaptive hydraulic dampers underneath of the Mosque in Algiers: The people illustrate the dimensions.

Set up of the bearing test in San Diego where the maximum earthquake can be simulated. During the test, the tested bearings were not damaged, but only overhauled. Due to their high economic value they were finally installed into the structure.

This graph shows the response force of the hydraulic damper at various displacement velocities. Clearly to be seen is the controlled constant response force at 100-120 cm/s, implemented by a valve system.
