QUAKEPROOF BUILDING Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC E04H9/02 E02D27/34 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to the field of construction, namely to erection of buildings and structures in earthquake zones. Quakeproof building comprises carcass, foundation slab suspended on traction rods, which are stiff in vertical direction, to foundation sleeve, which encloses it and rests on foundation soil, and layer of damping material. At the same time foot of foundation slab contacts layer of damping material laid on the bottom of foundation sleeve, and detectors are mounted into bottom of foundation sleeve for measurement of vertical pressure of building, value of which is adjusted by rotation of nuts at the ends of traction rods.

EFFECT: improved reliability and earthquake resistance of building due to control of friction, which occurs as a result of horizontal seismic load effect between foot of building foundation slab and layer of damping material.
