                FEATURE: Old buildings beefed up with quake-resistant technology

                Photo taken Sept. 28, 2016, shows two pieces of shock-absorbing rubber beneath a vibration control system called a Tuned Mass Damper, or TMD, installed on top of the Shinjuku Nomura Building in Tokyo. The rubber, installed at the four corners of the system, can alleviate shaking, especially that caused by winds and smaller quakes. The linear slider (black parts at its center) work to absorb tremors caused by bigger earthquakes. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
