Abstract

A building system that eliminates earthquake's destructive effect includes the 1st Foundation enables the building to hold on the ground, the 2 nd -Foundation moves on the 1 st -Foundation, the foundation cantilever of the 2 nd -Foundation, the impact cantilever as the structural element surrounding the 1 st -Foundation, external curtain meets ground actions forming structural cavity, earthquake wedge dampens portion of the impact of the foundation cantilever to the impact cantilever, movement mechanism enables articulated movement between 1st and 2 nd -Foundations, support panel is the structural element enabling ground actions to safely support the external curtain and increases strength of the impact cantilever, reinforced concrete cap prevents foreign materials from entering the structure's travel cavity and tension piles prevents the tipping over of the structure connected to the 1st Foundation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . This invention relates to building systems developed against earthquake, comprises:
 the 1st Foundation, forming the rigid—fixed—section of the building sunken in the ground,   the 2nd Foundation on the 1st Foundation, the distance between them determined by calculation, which can move independently on the 1st Foundation and supports the building floors on itself,   the foundation cantilever located around the 2nd Foundation which enables the consuming of earthquake internal forces with the horizontal and/or vertical loads being transferred by its impact on the impact cantilever,   the impact cantilever at the end section of the 1st Foundation and surrounding it, which houses the foundation cantilever in the 2nd Foundation inside it at a certain distance and to which the foundation cantilever impacts during an earthquake with the action of the earthquake forces and ensured the consuming of earthquake internal forces, and   the movement mechanism which moves together with the ground during an earthquake and which enables the 2nd Foundation to move independently and in all directions over the 1st Foundation.   
     
     
         2 . The non-earthquake building system mentioned in  claim 1  comprises the earthquake wedge on the inner surface of the impact cantilever which dampens a portion of the impact forces formed during the impact of the foundation cantilever to the impact cantilever. 
     
     
         3 . The non-earthquake building system mentioned in  claim 1  comprises the tension pile connected to the 1st Foundation, which advances towards the ground at an angle and due to its angular placement forms additional tension force by virtue of the shear force of the ground. 
     
     
         4 . The non-earthquake building system mentioned in  claim 1  comprises the tension pile connected to the 1st Foundation, which advances towards the ground at an angle and enables the increasing of the soil safety of the building against ground settling by the compressive force formed with the building's own weight when there is no earthquake. 
     
     
         5 . The tension pile mentioned in  claim 3 , wherein the number of angular arms of the tension pile is at least two and the arm angles are produced at an angle to the vertical axis. 
     
     
         6 . The non-earthquake building system mentioned in  claim 1  comprises the external curtain which meets the ground loads around the structure travel cavity and forms the structure's travel cavity and increases the strength of the impact cantilever during the impact of the foundation cantilever on the impact cantilever during an earthquake. 
     
     
         7 . The non-earthquake building system mentioned in  claim 1  comprises the support panel which increases the safety of the external curtain located around the structure travel cavity and on the impact cantilever against ground loads, which increases the strength of the impact cantilever during the impact of the foundation cantilever to the impact cantilever. 
     
     
         8 . The non-earthquake building system mentioned in  claim 1  comprises the reinforced concrete cap which covers the structure's travel cavity and protects from foreign material.
