Seismic Resistance of Houses – Earthquake Experiment 2022 | KOFINAS SA
Seismicity test of prefabricated KOFINAS – Innovation & Trust
The experiment was carried out on February 2, 2022
Seismic Resistance of Houses – Earthquake Experiment 2022 | KOFINAS SA. The seismic resistance experiment presented below demonstrates the exceptional resistance of KOFINAS prefabricated houses to strong earthquakes, such as those that frequently occur in Greece. The 9-magnitude earthquake simulation was carried out in collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, demonstrating the superior anti-seismic technology we use.
Three story essay on physical scale, manufactured by the company KOFINAS – This is how the Future is Built… was experimentally examined using seismic simulator of the National Technical University of Athens. KOFINAS – Innovation & Trust.
The purpose of the tests was to check the response of the structural system against seismic action.
The success was a result of the technical advantages:
- Screw, which is robotically placed in all the construction parts of the house
- Metal connecting plates, with which
we tie
the construction - Oversizing, load-bearing organism through mechanical study
- Reinforcement, at the stress points through a special static program

Earthquake doesn't kill.
Buildings kill.
Real Earthquake Experiment:
E.M.P. seismic resistance experiment for the KOFINAS 2022 prefabricated houses
The prefabricated houses of Kofinas are famous for their maximum earthquake resistance. The precise design and careful construction with the appropriate building materials, utilizing the know-how and years of experience, gives the houses of our company the guaranteed result of complete earthquake protection and static adequacy. It provides everyone with a safe home in an earthquake.
THE KOFINAS company Wanting to prove the great anti-seismic resistance of its prefabricated houses to an earthquake in Greece, it tried to practically certify this advantage of its constructions by conducting a scientific experiment in a three-story, full-scale construction.
In February 2022, in collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, the homes of KOFINAS Prefabricated Houses were tested again on a physical scale using a seismic simulator. KOFINAS – This is How the Future is Built.
Because buildings are what can kill and not the earthquake, we invest in their quality with the aim of your own safety.

The Kofinas company has been a leader in the research and production of masonry since 1977. Our secret is continuous research and development. Innovation & Trust!
We performed another experiment on February 2, 2022 in three-story building.
Which was done for the first time in Greece and one of the largest in Europe.
Continuous development and progress are the greatest goals of the company KOFINAS Prefabricated Houses. For this reason, complacency has never been a characteristic of our work.
We want to offer excellent quality and always strive to achieve the best and most technologically advanced results.
So, February 2, 2022 another scientific anti-seismic experiment was conducted to verify and scientifically approve the maximum staticity of KOFINAS prefabricated houses in a three-story building of natural size.
Following the stability experiment carried out in November 2009, during which a one-story test house of the company, entering the seismic simulator, withstood up to 1.5 g of acceleration while remaining intact, the KOFINAS company wanted to seal this result and go a step further.
So in 2022 he carried out a static experiment in the seismic simulator at NTUA in a three-story life-size test specimen by loading it to seismic stresses of 1G acceleration, which is equivalent to 9+ on the Richter scale, without damage.
