ABSTRACT<br />

<strong>The</strong> vibration control device of low-stiffness and high-damping laminated rubber has been<br />

developed for the anti-seismic measurement for the information equipment. This vibration<br />

control device can reduce the effect of seismic acceleration against the equipment by installing<br />

between the bottom of the equipment and the floor. Thus, the equipment can be prevented from<br />

falling or being damaged by the seismic motion. This paper evaluates this vibration control<br />

effect on the equipment by using the laminated rubber against seismic motion based on the<br />

shaking table test's results.<br />
