Damping Earthquakes From the Roof - Alberto Bussini (ISAAC Global)
Most buildings designed to current seismic codes are built to save lives — not to remain functional after an earthquake. Alberto Bussini explains why that standard leaves thousands of structures unusable even when they don't collapse, and how active mass dampers installed on rooftops can change that equation.
The conversation unpacks the technical and commercial journey of bringing structural protection to existing buildings — a market far larger than new construction but historically neglected by innovation. Bussini walks through the engineering challenges of reducing mass, ensuring power…
