ABSTRACT:
An earthquake shock damper has two connectors, two shaft assemblies, multiple energy absorbers, multiple spacers and multiple energy distribution assemblies. The connectors are connected to structural members of a building. The shaft assemblies are coaxially attached respectively to the connectors. The energy absorbers are mounted around the shaft assemblies, and each energy absorber has a central body and multiple extensions extending out from the central body. The spacers are mounted around the shaft assemblies, and each spacer is mounted between the central bodies of adjacent energy absorbers to define the interval between the energy absorbers. The energy distribution assemblies are attached to the extensions of the energy absorbers.
