The University of Sharjah has had a patent approved for the invention of a new device which can use sand containers to dissipate seismic attacks and protect buildings from harm in the event of an earthquake.

Device operates by absorbing and dissipating seismic energy through a specially designed container filled with granular material, namely sand.

The patent owners, Prof. Moussa Leblouba and Prof. Mostafa Zahri , dubbed their discovery "Particle-Based Energy Dissipation Device".

Prof. Leblouba is upbeat about the device’s future, predicting potential collaboration with civil engineering firms, municipalities, and disaster management agencies.

Co-inventor, Prof. Zahri , said the invention provides a viable alternative to expensive seismic isolation systems, enabling wider adoption in regions with limited financial resources.
