If we design rigid walls with post-tensioned ends and integrate the tendons into the ground, the building's load-bearing capacity during an earthquake can be significantly increased. Post-tensioning the walls generates additional compressive forces, which enhance the overall strength and the building's ability to resist seismic forces.

The integration of the tendons into the ground allows for the direct transfer of seismic loads to the ground, reducing overall deformation and increasing the building's stability during an earthquake. In this way, the tendons act as additional reinforcement, reducing the stresses on the walls and joints, while simultaneously improving the distribution of forces throughout the building.

Overall, this technique can contribute to increasing the building's load-bearing capacity and improving its seismic performance.
