ANTISEISMIC CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: this particularly relates to antiseismic construction systems for bridges and buildings. Aforesaid system has homeostatic devices which increase resistance of system to external loads (instead of reducing them). Common specific feature of all versions of invention consists in fact that columnar supports carry supporting parts which are faced towards each other and have trough-shaped passages which are inclined at angle with respect to longitudinal axis of each lateral flexible member so that distance in passages measured in horizontal plane between opposite points of contact with lateral member is reduced with increase of load and deflection of each lateral member. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 18 cl, 28 dwg
