SEISMIC DAMPING PEIR FOUNDATION SYSTEM FOR SEISMIC ISOLATION
A foundation system includes: a pier supporting a bottom surface of a structure; a collar on the pier 1defining a first and second cable guide; a thrust bearing on the collar opposite the pier; a thrust plate on the bottom surface of the structure configured to mate with the thrust bearing; a first cable extending through the first cable guide along a first horizontal axis; a second cable extending through the second cable guide along a second horizontal axis; a first spring assembly coupled to the bottom surface of the structure and to the first cable configured to tension the first cable along the first horizontal axis to return the structure to a center position; and a second spring assembly coupled to the bottom surface of the structure, and configured to tension the second cable along the first horizontal axis to return the structure to the center position.
