If we want to simulate the displacement and deformation of the ground beneath a structure when an earthquake occurs, I would say that it looks like a rough sea but with a lower density. The difference between a ship and a building in a turbulent sea and in an earthquake is that the sea adapts its shape in the wave to the shape of the ship, whereas in an earthquake the building adapts its shape to the wave-like shape of the ground. This difference is disastrous for structures with a large area and for tall structures which are more vulnerable to the large wave oscillation and low frequencies. The structure in large earthquakes bends by rocking in all directions of the horizontal, vertical and torsional axis,. One floor with another have different width and direction of displacement along the horizontal axis and one sub-structure with another sub-structure of the same floor have different height difference, deforming plates and beams.
The torsional bending deformations of the elements in all directions are as strong as the deformations of a crumpled aluminium foil.
I say all this to indicate the necessity of elasticity of structural elements.
Normally only a rubber structure would withstand such an earthquake, although even in tall buildings it would have the problem of overturning. The question I ask is why don't we build houses out of rubber?
The answer is simple. Anything that is elastic has no momentum. What is rigid has momentum, but it breaks when bent.
E.g. a rubber beam will bend under its own weight, let alone when we impose loads on it.
In contrast, a reinforced concrete beam will take large loads and will break at a small bend in its frame.
Still anything that is dynamic is easily overturned, and overturning means building footprint withdrawal and failure from unsustainable static loads.
And the question that comes up is this.
What building construction design offers stability,elasticity and dynamic together, so that in any deformation it does not fail and at the same time has more dynamic than existing buildings, without overturning the structure and without twisting - base recall in the walls?
That is, that the columns go up and down like pistons without the beams breaking, and that the columns bend without breaking either themselves or the beams and slabs, and that all elements of the structure can withstand greater static loads, and of course seismic dynamic loads, without wall base recall and overturning?
Say what design is proposed to build structures to these specifications that will solve the earthquake problem?
I suggest this design method in the video.
