Description

DESCRIPTION

ANTI-EARTHQUAKE BUILDING SYSTEM

This invention is related to the motion system in anti-earthquake building system which may be applied on all sorts of buildings, which provides elimination of earthquake effect owing to the motion mechanisms which enable the groundworks independent of each other in double groundwork which are one on the top the other in order to provide consumption of earthquake forces effecting the building in medium or severe earthquakes within the groundwork structure without transferring from the groundwork of the building to the upper floors and which eliminate loss of life and property.

Earthquake is known as a natural disaster the effects and time of which cannot be detected exactly. Failure to the effects and time of earthquake exactly causes the measures to be taken for the future to be restricted.

The measures that may be taken against earthquake, the changes made on the structure and statics of the building in order to enable the building to preserve its integrity at the moment of earthquake shelters, automatic gas-electricity cutting systems are created in order to prevent events including fires, subsistence and eruption at the moment of earthquake.

Building static calculations are made for estimated at the moment of earthquake in the building project prepared before the construction of the building. The building is constructed according to the static calculations made. However under estimated conditions and earthquake severities definite analysis on the building behavior at the moment of earthquake cannot be made. Static calculations are -x and y- for two directions and there is no calculation for earthquakes from the diagonal side or bottom. For this reason the resistance of the static calculations made and under the conditions determined may be protected. In unexpected situations, the corrosion caused by the long years passing by and earthquakes that cannot be estimated prevents one to have knowledge about time resistance of the building. The building becomes more dangerous in this manner.

In order to enable the buildings to survive at the moment of earthquake there are various systems settled during the construction of the buildings. Systems including railed systems, rubber sliders, energy absorbing springs, pre-stressed ropes absorb earthquake forces created by the earthquake. However those systems cannot be applied to all building types. Furthermore the cost of those systems is quite high despite the fact that they provide protection against earthquake. This invention which may be applied to all sorts of apart order buildings and which is related to the motion system in anti-earthquake building system which may be applied on all sorts of buildings, which provides elimination of earthquake effect owing to the motion mechanisms which enable the groundworks independent of each other in double groundwork which are one on the top the other in order to provide consumption of earthquake forces effecting the building in medium or severe earthquakes within the groundwork structure without transferring from the groundwork of the building to the upper floors and which eliminate loss of life and property, overcome with all of the abovementioned disadvantages and it is characterized by the fact that earthquake forces coming on the axes at very different directions at the moment of earthquake are damped at the groundwork of the building and transfer of earthquake forces to the upper floors of the buildings may be prevented, having motion mechanism composed of balls settled below each column, being able to be carried from one place of the building to another owing to the motion mechanism. In apart order structures with or without cellar, rigid basement floor(s) may be applied to all sorts of buildings the area of which is bigger than its main mass and which surrounds the main structure all around regardless of its geometric structure, regardless of the number of floors. At the ground of the building there are two groundwork structures that can move independently from each other one on the other. When the earthquake forces come from different directions, the two groundworks act independently from each other and earthquake forces are prevented to arrive at upper floors.

In the groundwork of the building there is a motion mechanism that provides the two grondworks to move independently from each other. In the motion mechanism, there is a motion system which is composed of balls moving between two groundworks moving independently of each other. The motion system settled between columns in the building moves in the thrusting bearing. Motion system moves at the moment of earthquake and functions as carrier when there is no earthquake. In the anti-earthquake building system, the motion mechanism provides moving the building from one place to another at the same time. Motion system may be moved on the way opened between the groundwork it carries on and the building floors and may be carried to the desired region. The motion of the building is provided with the motion system along the carrying way in the carrying transaction and it is provided to be conveyed to the region having a similar groundwork system and fixed.

Damping the earthquake forces in the groundwork of the building, failure to the destructive effect of the earthquake forces to the upper floors eliminates loss of life and property. The anti-earthquake building system which eliminates the risk of earthquake offers permanent measure against earthquake.

The use of the invention is as follows: The 1^st Groundwork (1) becomes the structure element of the rigid region, which is buried in the ground of the building. The 1^st Groundwork (1) is applied as laying foundation in a certain depth of the ground through laying foundation method with patent. The 2^nd Groundwork (2) carries building floors which can move independently on the 1^st Groundwork (1). The 2^nd Groundwork (2) is positioned over the 1^st Groundwork (1) with a certain distance. The 1^st Groundwork (1) carries the entire building together with the 2^nd Groundwork (2). Structure columns (1 1) are erected on the 2^nd Groundwork (2).

Motion mechanism (3) transfers structure own weights between the 1^st Groundwork (1) and the 2^nd Groundwork (2) from the 2^nd Groundwork (2) to 1^st Groundwork (1) and provides motion of the 2^nd Groundwork (2) on the 1^st Groundwork (1) without angle to all directions. Motion mechanism (3) is settled between the 1^st Groundwork (1) and the 2^nd Groundwork (2) as positioned below the structure columns. Motion mechanism (3) is settled as fitting below each structure column (1 1).

In the motion mechanism (3) there is the upper cover (3.1) which connects the entire mechanism to the 2^nd Groundwork (2). The main ball bearing (3.2) enables the motion mechanism (3) to wander in the thrusting bearing (5) in all slopes without angle and enables the structure to turn back to the place it moved for the first time with structure weight. Horizontal motion of the structure realizes owing to the ball (3.4) in the motion mechanism (3).

The lower cover (3.5) imprisons the ball (3.4) in the main ball bearing (3.2). The main ball bearing (3.2) and the ball (3.3) is connected to the upper cover (3.1) through springy mechanism (3.6). Springy mechanism (3.6) keeps all elements of the motion mechanism (3) together and while it applied tensile stress on one hand, it operates with propulsion stress on the other hand. When the structure mass moves on the ball (3.3) from the right to the left, the main ball bearing (3.2) moves in the reverse direction from the left to the right. Springy mechanism (3.6) located on the left of the motion mechanism (3) works for tensile strength while the springy mechanism (3.6) on the right works for propulsion stress.

• When the motion of the structure turns from right to left; the main ball bearing (3.2) moves from the left to the right. The springy mechanism (3.6) located on the right of the motion mechanism (3) works for tensile strength while the springy mechanism (3.6) on the left works for propulsion stress. Motion mechanism (3) moves in the thrusting bearing (5).

The thrusting bearing (5) is the bearing where the balls (3.4) move on the motion mechanism (3). The thrusting bearing (5) being spherical in shape preferably enables the structure to turn back to the first point where the structure starts motion.

Fixing arm (6) is used for not allowing replacement of the motion mechanism (3) during equipment placement and concrete casting of the 2^nd Groundwork (2) after the motion mechanism (3) is placed in the thrusting bearing (5). The task of the fixing column (6) is till the concrete of the 2^nd Groundwork (2) gains resistance. The fixing arm (6) made of weak material breaks off at the first motion of the structure and becomes out of service. And another task of the fixing arm (6) is preventing harm on the water isolation (7), during the 2nd Groundwork (2) equipment assembly and concrete casting.

Water isolation (7) is applied around motion mechanism (3) upper cover (3.1) and edge region of the thrusting bearing (5). After settling filling material on the 1^st Groundwork (1) , equipment assemblies of the 2^nd Groundwork (2) are performed. Water isolation (7) is applied in order to prevent filling of concrete waters and aggregates in the motion mechanism (3) and thrusting bearing (5) during concrete casting of the 2nd Groundwork

(2) .

Structure carrying way (8) is a special way made at the axis of each columns at the same altitude with the altitudes of both groundworks between the existing 1^st Groundwork (1) and the new 1^st Groundwork (1) of the structure in order to enable the structure from one place to another.

Horizontal impulse source (9) can provide impulsion of the structure horizontally on its own. In our invention, two horizontal impulse sources (9) connected parallel with each other, working as a group preferably is used. Each group of horizontal impulse sources (9) have a capacity that could respond the anti-resistance applied by the structure horizontally.

Power source choke (10) is the support element which the horizontal impulse source (9) leans in order to push the structure. Crash console additional ores (13) are the ore equipments planted with various chemicals for the completion of the crash console the place of which is vacated after the structure is moved to its new place.

Completed crash console (12) is constructed on the crash console ores (13) erected to replace the crash console vacated after settlement of the structure on the 1^st Groundwork

There is the motion mechanism (3) which is placed between the 1^st Groundwork (1) and the 2nd Groundwork(2) and which coincides structure columns (1 1). There is thrusting bearing (5) under each motion mechanism (3). In the case earthquake forces reach the building it starts to perform oscillation motion within the boundaries of thrusting bearing (5) with the effect of earthquake forces owing to the 2nd Groundwork (2) motion mechanism (3). The ball (3.4) settled in the ball bearing (3.3) between the lower cover (3.5) and the main ball bearing (3.2) rolls and moves inside the thrusting bearing (5). The motion mechanism (3) connected to the 2^nd Groundwork (2) owing to the main ball bearing (3.2) provides motion of the 1^st Groundwork (1) and the 2^nd Groundwork (2) independently of each other.

The building is provided to be carried from its own place to another place if necessary owing to the motion mechanism (3) in anti-earthquake building system. If the building has side crash consoles at both sides at the direction of carrying the building in the 1^st Groundwork (1), outer curtain and support panels are cut and removed. The existing rigid region is made exactly in the place where the structure is carried - pulling piles, the 1^st Groundwork (1), crash consoles, if any outer curtain and support panels. Only the place of the crash console at the direction of entry of the building carried in the new 1^st Groundwork (1) is left empty. The structure carrying way (8) is made between the two groundworks with the same altitudes for all and with straight route. The structure carrying ways (8) are in the same number with the column axes of the structure. At the side of the structure which is reverse of the direction of carrying it, first group impulsive power source choke (10) is placed at a distance equal to the start position of the impulse sources (9) horizontal to the 2^nd Groundwork (2) console. Horizontal impulse source (9) at the first group start position is placed between the 2^nd Groundwork (2) console and first group power source choke (10). Horizontal impulse source (9) placed between the 2^nd Groundwork (2) console and first group power source choke (10) and at the start position is operated. With the operation of the first group horizontal impulse source (9) the structure progresses with a length of arm.

Another group power source choke is placed at a distance equal to the distance at the start position of the impulse source (9) horizontal to the 2^nd Groundwork (2) console in the new position. The horizontal impulse source (9) at the other group start position is placed between the 2^nd Groundwork (2) console and other group power source choke (10). With the operation of the other group horizontal impulse source (9) the structure progresses with a length of arm further. This process is repeated till the structure is placed on the 1^st Groundwork (1) on the carrying way (8). When the structure is placed on the I^s Groundwork (1) crash console ore (13) equipments are planted in the place where the crash console left empty is placed using various chemicals. Completed crash console (12) is constructed on the crash console ores (13) and the formation of the structure is completed as anti-earthquake building system in its new place.
