Abstract
This invention is a modular anti-seismic protection device to be used in buildings and similar constructions. It discloses a modular base, which is to be laid on the ground below a building's foundation plate, to dampen, dissipate, and cancel out seismic waves.
Claims21
A device comprising:
- a layer of a plurality of modules arranged in the same plane tangentially between the ground and a foundation of buildings, wherein each module comprises a first upper part attached to a second lower part, and a circular flexible object disposed between said first upper part and said second lower part, wherein said layer is elastically deformable to protect against seismic waves.
A device comprising:
- a layer of a plurality of modules arranged in the same plane tangentially between the ground and a foundation of buildings, wherein each module comprises a first upper part attached to a second lower part, and said layer is elastically deformable to protect against seismic waves;
- a circular flexible object disposed within each module between said first upper part and said second lower part;
- a block disposed within each module, wherein said block is attached to both of said first upper part and said second lower part in each module;
- and
- granular material disposed within each module.
A method of constructing a modular anti-seismic protection device, to be used in buildings, to provide an elastically deformable layer to protect against seismic waves, comprising:
- providing a plurality of arranged modules arranged in the same plane tangentially between the ground and a foundation of buildings, wherein each module comprises a first upper part and a second lower part, and providing a plurality of circular flexible objects;
- disposing at least one of said circular flexible objects between said first upper part and said second lower part in each of said modules;
- and
- attaching said first upper part to said second lower part in each of said modules.
- attaching said first upper part to said second lower part in each of said modules.
A device comprising:
- a layer of a plurality of modules, wherein each module comprises a first upper part attached to a second lower part, and a tire disposed between said first upper part and said second lower part, wherein said layer is elastically deformable to protect against seismic waves.
