Method and device of earthquake resistant amp; energy reduction for high- rise structures

摘要

The "METHOD AND DEVICE OF EARTHQUAKE RESTSTANT NAD ENERGY REDUCTION FOR HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES" includes a methed and device that is applicable to all kinds of high-rise structures and multi-storey buildings to resist earthquake and reduce energy generated from any horizontal force. The method employs horizontally placed sliding plates to divide the super- structure into a plurality of independent rigid structures. Each indepent rigid structure shall be connected to its upper or lower independent rigid structure with long bolts and nuts. The recess/hole that was inserted with long bolts shall be filled with rubber filler which acted as an buffer elastic isolator. Further, elastic recovery device shall be installed between each independent rigid structures and the rigid core structure which can be in the form of lift shaft, shear wall or any other similar structure. The device of the present invention includes one or more sliding plates, a plurality of long bolts, nuts, washers, resilient liners, buffer elastic isolators and elastic recovery edvices. This invention is applicable to all kinds of high-rise structures of multi- storey buildings for resisting earthquake and reduction of energy.
