Adaptive Earthquake-resistant Systems

Objective . This article is a continuation of the topic raised in the article “Systems with optimal geometric shapes”, published in the previous issue of this journal. The purpose of the study is to develop design diagrams and explanations for them, outline the principles of their operation, design features that provide the necessary seismic resistance. Method . To ensure adaptability, various design techniques are used: switching connections, switching connections, switching connections, buildings and structures consisting of various structural blocks having different frequencies of natural oscillations. Thus, the blocks of the building dampen each other during vibrations, thereby providing the necessary seismic resistance during earthquakes. Result . Structural systems with adaptive properties that impart high seismic resistance to buildings and structures are presented. Conclusion . The design techniques outlined in the article ensure high seismic resistance of buildings and structures, which can be used in the practice of designing and constructing earthquake-resistant systems.
