Еarthquake Engineering. Method of Leaning the Building Object on the Ground

Authors:   Annotation:

A new method of leaning the building object on the subgrade is represented via a platform consisting of two ferroconcrete plates. Metal balls are placed between them to create a gap for free moving of the lower plate comparatively to the upper plate – the building base. As a result of such a leaning the effect of the most destructive horizontal seismic oscillations can be totally annulled.
