SOMMA – ANTISEISMIC DEVICES
SOMMA is an Italian engineering company highly specialised in the design and production of structural restraint and load bearing devices, road and rail expansion joints and anti-seismic devices.
SOMMA boasts many years of experience in the infrastructure field, experience due to the technical skills of its team as well as from acquisitions of business units in recent years.
STRUCTURAL BEARINGS
Antiseismic Devices.
Structural Bearings are devices that permit rotation between two structural elements and transmit the required loads in such a way as to prevent any movement (fixed bearings), or allow movement in only one direction (guided bearings), or in all directions of a plane (free bearings)’.
Can be of different type, pot bearings, spherical bearings, elastomeric bearing, cylindrical and special bearings
ANTISEISMIC DEVICES
Anti-seismic devices are devices that protect all types of structures from earthquakes.
The choice of anti-seismic protection device to be used depends on the design characteristics.
Our product range is the result of years of investment in research to improve existing products and discover new ones.
EXPANSION JOINTS
Expansion joints are designed to ensure continuity between two structural elements and to follow the movements of the structure itself.
SEISMIC BUILDING RETROFIT
Seismic protection of building can be done on existing building or in new construction building.
The seismic protection can be done by using specific antiseismic devices or dissipative devices.
