All civil engineers know that inertial stresses create deformations that cause failures and collapse of structures. Deformation can be caused by three different factors 1) The greatest deformation is created by the overturning moment of the wall and by the bending of its trunk 2) The second deformation is created by the torsional buckling that is observed in asymmetric, in high-rise constructions and in metal constructions. 3) The third deformation is created by the inhomogeneous subsidence of the ground (with or without earthquake), which deforms the nodes of the structure. THE SOLUTION 1) The walls under the imposition of compressive stresses on their cross sections through prestressing, do not create a bending deformation capable of creating shear failures. Conclusion Pre-tensioning must be applied to the walls. However, the prestressing increases the already great rigidity of the wall, and this has the effect of lowering (like a strong lever that it is) large torques at the base and at the nodes where it is connected to the beams, causing them to break. That is, as rigid, the wall is easily overturned and creates large moments at the base and at the nodes where it is connected to the beams, resulting in their breaking. Conclusion In order not to overturn the wall, we must connect it with the ground 2) Proper dimensioning of wall sections as well as the imposition of compression on their sections reduce torsional buckling 3) We must improve the quality of the soil by compacting its material, if we do not want subsidence The patent applies anchoring to the ground, compacts it, applies compression to the wall cross-sections and stops wall overturning, wall bending, torsional buckling and ground subsidence. What else do you want the patent to do, other than control the deformation that causes failures?
Dear Gomasa Ramesh
Existing design systems today reduce displacements.
There is no design today that can completely control inelastic displacements.
And this is because in their design they do not use an external force to control the displacements but try with the cross sections of the building to resist the earthquake.
