Tensioning between of the upper edge of the walls with the earth reduces the displacements responsible for all the stresses that develop on the structural carrier.
The patent is stacked into the ground to draw from it a force that transfers it to the upper end of the wall in order to apply a counterbalance to the torque of the wall One cubic meter of reinforced concrete weighs 2400 kilos. The steel reinforcement in it is about 140 kilos per cubic meter. Empirically if you multiply the number of 0.25 by the square meters of each floor then you will find the cubic meters of concrete. In the end, add + cubic meters of the bases. So if we have a building skeleton with a floor area of 100 square meters, if we multiply by 0.25 we will see that it consists of 25 cubic reinforced concrete weighing 25 x 2400 = 60000 kilos or 60 tons. Steel reinforcement is 25x140 = 3500 kg or 3.5 tonnes. That is, 3.5 tonnes of steel for 60 tonnes of concrete are needed. A cable winch (crane) weighing 3.5 tons, how many tons of weight could it lift? Answer = Thousands of tons. (not dozens) Conclusion Concrete has a lot of reinforcement in it that has the ability to lift the weight of the construction hundreds of times But the constructions in large earthquakes suffer damage. Something is wrong in the study done by the civil engineer. What's wrong? Imagine a man drowning in the sea. A civil engineer will throw the rope into the sea and leave without holding the edge of it. They do the same with the constructions. They put a lot of steel reinforcement without wrapping one end into something stable from which they could gain strength. The method with the mechanism of this patent is what it does, which is not done by mechanical engineers. The patent is stacked into the ground to draw from it a force that transfers it to the roof to stop the drifts and the tensions that deform the structural bearing elements. You've heard that they say (the drowning of his hair is caught) Somehow, they are building the construction today ... many irons for little benefit. One has to explain to them that they have to tie one end of the rope on a firm and strong place. (like ground) This is what I'm trying to explain 10 years! But some have not yet understood it. If they do this with less steel they will have more effective results with the earthquake.
Τhe patent achieves the following
1)The consolidation of the nodes of highest level of the walls with the ground, using the mechanism of the invention, deflects the upward tensions created by the wall overturning torque transporting them freely and directly from the roof into the ground and in this way stops the displacements responsible for all growing tensions on the body of the bearing elements which they cause inelastic bending deformations and failures in a major earthquake. 2 ) Also the mechanism and method of anchoring provides very strong foundation in soft soils 3)The wall receives only compressive stresses at both ends a) at the upper end b) and the facing lower end near the base. Does not exist anymore tensile strength. This means that there are no longer torques in the nodes Does not exist anymore mechanism of concentric forces failure The floor mechanism (soft floor) does not exist anymore 4) Does not exist anymore coordination because the whole construction is shifted with the same frequency and the same oscillation amplitude 5) The wall also receives horizontal shear forces. Apply tension at all edges of the wall with the patent mechanism increases the ability to horizontal shear forces.
