Modern structures made today benefit from quality materials that ensure their considerably long life. In addition to these materials, specific methods are used in order to counteract the dynamic actions that may require their structural strength and engineers greatest concern is to ensure an optimal degree of earthquake stability. Among the methods are used insulation and dissipation solutions by using special mechanical systems, which can counteract the earthquake action. A hydrostatic drive is described in this paper, which can also be attached to the structure in order to consume some of the earthquake energy, resulting in a diminished amount of energy transmitted to the structural frames. It is considered an energy dissipation system, whose operating principle is highly nonlinear.
