A seismic protective structure () for forming part of a board partition () and for limiting damage to the board partition () when a given level of seismic stress is appearing is described. The seismic protective structure () comprises at least one board () and support elements () for positioning the board adjacent a neighboring wall and linking the board to the remainder of the board partition wall. The seismic protective structure () is adapted for, when a given level of seismic stress is appearing, intentionally causing damage of the at least one board () thereby releasing pressure from the remainder of the board partition ().

Protective structure for board partitions

Seismic damage reducing system for partitions. A seismic protective structure () for forming part of a board partition () and for limiting damage to the board partition () when a given level of seismic stress is appearing, is described. The seismic protective structure () comprising a breaking mechanism () introduced near an upper corner and/or lower corner of board partition (), wherein the breaking mechanism () is adapted for, when a given level of seismic stress is appearing, intentionally causing damage of the board partition () thereby releasing stress from the remainder of the board partition ().
