Abstract
A seismic protective structure (100) for protecting a board partition (190). The protective structure (100) comprises a first stud (110), a second stud (120), and a wedge (140). The first stud (110) is mounted against a neighbouring wall (150) and the second stud is being positioned spaced from the first stud so that a protective board (130) is mounted on the first stud and the second stud. The structure also comprises a wedge (140) mounted and positioned against the second stud (120) such that the protective board (130) mounted on the first (110) and second stud (120) is pushed at least partly out of the plane of the board partition (190) by the wedge (140) when a given level of seismic stress is appearing.
