Abstract
The article explores the prospects of utilizing geotechnical seismic insulation made from gruntosilicate to protect architectural monuments from seismic influences. It highlights the advantages of this technology, including the preservation of the integrity and authenticity of historical buildings, minimal interference with their original construction, and the durability of the materials used. The article outlines the primary methods and technologies of seismic insulation, such as insulating layers, dampers, and shock-absorbing materials. Additionally, it provides examples of successful applications of seismic insulation in various historical buildings. The importance of adopting modern technologies to safeguard cultural heritage in regions with heightened seismic activity is emphasized throughout the discussion. The primary aim of the article is to demonstrate the effectiveness of geotechnical seismic insulation in preserving architectural heritage. Experimental studies have shown that gruntosilicate, when used as a seismic insulation material, significantly reduces the amplitude of seismic vibrations, thereby enhancing the safety and longevity of buildings. The article posits that geotechnical seismic insulation represents a promising approach in earthquake-resistant construction, necessitating an integrated approach that takes into account technical, economic, and geological factors. This research underscores the potential of this technology to provide sustainable solutions for the protection of cultural heritage in seismically active regions.
