A system to protect tall buildings from earth quake giving a garbage treatment plant as bonus

Abstract

A system to protect tall building from earthquake giving a garbage treatment plant as bonus with the said system comprising of an large inertial mass formed of unconsolidated matter being one of biomass and one of garbage and with the inertial mass being connected to the protected tall building, the inertial mass is held by main retaining structure and absorbs and damps earthquake waves and reduces stress on the structural frame of the adjoining building. The resulting garbage storage and treatment not only solves the garbage problem of a city but also yields useful by products namely biogas and compost with the garbage being treated by aerobic and anaerobic processes along with use of micro organisms that tolerate high pressures. This is a method of building smart cities in a sustainable manner by the smart use of material being waste material or otherwise in a cost effective manner.
