In recent years, the number of long and narrow buildings such as skyscrapers and mid- to high-rise buildings on narrow lots has been increasing, and the deterioration of occupant performance due to wind-induced swaying has become a problem. Wind-induced swaying differs from earthquake swaying in that it tends to last a long time. As a result, it has various effects on occupants, such as making them feel uneasy about the building and causing motion-sickness-like symptoms.

Yakumo Corporation will have a device that allows visitors to experience this wind shaking at its booth. This device can reproduce wind-induced shaking in buildings such as skyscrapers and slender mid-rise buildings, allowing visitors to experience wind-induced shaking while comparing it with the occupant performance evaluation standards of the Building Science Society of Japan.

You can also discuss other vibration issues with our expert staff on the day.

Possible situations: Wind-induced vibration in low to mid-rise buildings

Maximum number of people: 1

Minimum age: 10 years old

You can also experience the system at our Tokyo Showroom. Please click here for details.

Horizontal Vibration Simulator

What is the Horizontal Vibration Simulator?

This device allows you to experience how a building shakes. It reproduces horizontal vibrations that are likely to cause problems after occupancy, and allows the user to experience the shaking while checking the vibration values. The device can also be transported, and can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as in-house training and for clients to experience the vibration.
