RESISTOFLEX was founded in 1947 by Late Mr. R.K. Jain after graduating in Electrical & Mechanical Engineering from BHU, India. He was joined by Mr. Ratish Jain, B.Tech & Silver medallist from IIT Delhi. He forged several alliances with globally acclaimed companies in related fields. Further RESISTOFLEX was co-opted to the Mechanical Vibration and Shock Sectional Committee of Bureau of Indian Standards.
RESISTOFLEX offers complete engineering services which includes : Diagnostic Investigation, Technical Analysis, System Design, Supervision of Installation, Performance Evaluation & Post Monitoring.
Earthquakes shake the structure in the lateral and vertical direction. The lateral force applied is proportional to the mass of structure and the ground acceleration. The earthquake induced forces are dissipated by damage of structural elements. Structures may or may not collapse but mostly become unfit for general use and will need evacuation for repair. The losses due to these downtime are significant. Moreover, in hospital buildings where the cost of acceleration sensitive non-structural elements are much higher than the structure cost itself, again the losses are enormous.
Seismic base isolation technology decouples the structure from earthquake shaking using an appropriate isolation system. With our wide range options available, the acceleration imparted to the structure is significantly less thereby protecting not only the non-structural elements but also keeping the structure in the continued operations mode. We provide the design and supply of isolating the essential services which are lift, staircase, pipelines, conduits to achieve an undisrupted building functioning.
Introducing Resistoflex Showcase Building, India's first Earthquake-Isolated Corporate Building-On-Bearings, in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Delhi.
The clear objective for this Landmark project is to objectively demonstrate Base Isolation Technology and its Techno Economic advantages.
This building is our new corporate office as of May 2021 and is designed to be an always operational building and will continue to remain functional even in case of severe earthquakes predicted for Zone 4.
The building is erected on Pendulum isolators, developed by HIRUN International, a fortune 500 enterprise. The building is de-coupled from the ground movement using the isolators.
During the course of an earthquake, the entire energy of the earthquake is dissipated through the isolators which makes the entire superstructure of the building highly safe and operational during the earthquake.
Also, the building consists of an active Lift Isolation system, Staircase Isolation system and Flexible Piping System.
A special feature being added to this building is to integrate sensors to instantly convey to all stakeholders and occupants through mobiles and internet about the incoming Seismic intensity, making it a true Seismic Smart Building
