Abstract
The invention is directed to develop for aseimatic building construction system by means of converting the solid structure for the building against the attack by earthquake into the flexible structure to absorb the energy of the vibration caused by the earthquake by the method of using spheres incorporated with the resilient frame-work in the function of rotating themselves and spreading the angle of the arch thereof and sliding on the ground-work.
Claims2
As the countermeasure against earthquake in the building construction, the building is built on not solid structure but on the flexible structure in alignment with the movement of the earthquake by means of using a spheres combined with resilient frame-work which is set between the space between the foundation of said building and the ground-work based on the ground reclaimed with particles such as sand intercepting the vibration from being transmitted to the said building constructed on the upper position substituting for props, piles, pillars and etc. in the conventional architecture.
Either piles or pillars to support the building in the conventional architecture is substituted for spheres bored on the surface sustained by a resilient frame-work accommodated another sphere in the downward section which is partially in contact with the ground and the inclined inside wall of said frame-work of which apex forming arch to be deformed in expansion toward outside to absorb the energy of vertical vibration and simultaneously the energy of lateral vibration which cause rotational and slide movement of said spheres and resilient frame-work in collaboration in alignment with the movement of the earthquake laid between the slab on which building is built and the ground work based on the ground filled with particles.
