What does this invention achieve which is not achieved with the current technology?
 
What does this invention achieve which is not achieved with the current technology?
Current technology simply secures the structure to the ground. My invention unites it with the ground making these two as one (like a sandwich). For me, this uniting of the structure with the ground beneficially changes the direction and type of forces which act upon the structure dynamically during an earthquake.

Influences which cause failure in buildings:
a) Shearing stress
b) Moment of the nodes

How these are created:

A) SHEARING STRESS
a) Shearing stress is created mainly on the vertical supporting components during earthquake acceleration due to the inertia of the mass.
Question: Is the shearing stress the same in all of the supporting components?
Answer: No. The shearing is greater in force in the ground floor components
Question: Why?
Answer: For two main reasons
- They have to handle (in movement) a greater mass which necessitates greater inertia, thereby creating greater shearing on the cross section plan.
- The ground floor components are more rigid.
All of the other supporting components (except for those of the ground floor) have a certain amount of elasticity in the nodes and supporting components which is beneficial in that they absorb the force of the earthquake due to transfer of this force into heat.

However, this beneficial absorption of energy is cancelled to a greater degree by the components of the ground floor for one main reason. Underneath the components (columns) on the ground floor the base is inflexible (because it is usually under the ground). It therefore transfers wholly the acceleration of the earthquake (and in this way shearing stress is also increased).
At the components (columns) of the upper floors the same does not occur because the components of the ground floor have already absorbed part of the force and less energy is transferred upwards to the more elastic components.

Because of this and due to the increased mass load which has to be handled we see greatly increased shearing stresses on the ground floor components. This explains why the majority of failures happen on the ground floor.
This issue can be resolved by increasing the cross section plan of the components of the ground floor. But if we do this then another problem occurs; we lose the elasticity in the components (and in this way we also lose the damping of the acceleration).



B) MOMENT OF THE NODES
Moment of the nodes also acts to create stress on the horizontal and vertical supporting components by shearing stress and occurs for the following reason.
During the acceleration of an earthquake we know that there is inertia of the load bearing elements but in addition inertia of the bearing mass has to be handled. These burden the vertical components with horizontal shearing stress.
In a high rise building, the vertical components are united from the first up to the top floor. The structural integrity of all the components of the load bearing elements (columns, girders, slabs) is improved when these are joined at the node points.

During the inertia of the bearing elements, these node points react with moment which taxes the vertical and horizontal supporting elements with shearing stresses. If the design is not correct, this results in failure of the vertical elements which are brittle but not the horizontal.
The reason for this is that the vertical elements (columns) have a smaller cross section by comparison to the girders. The girders mass along the length forms a structural unit with the slab so that it is considered a unified body stronger than the vertical element.
If we consider that each column bears at least two girders, we understand the difference in endurance (with regards to the shearing) between the column and the horizontal bearing element.

During oscillation of a tall building, there is the tendency for it to lift up off the ground on one side due to moment, creating a gap underneath the back foundations. That is, the front columns try to lift up the back ones due to the structural unity that they have. This unity is provided by the girders.
This gap cancels the resistance which is present between the ground and building base as the base which was securing the building is now in mid-air.
Of course, this event never really happens in reality because the static load of the structure during the lifting of one side immobilizes the column with the base to the ground creating moment of the nodes.

These moments create slanted shearing of the cross section of the vertical element which cannot withstand the load and we have cancelling of the structural unity of the building.

This explanation can be clearly seen during the first minute of the experiment which I have carried out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJIsx1sKkLk

In the first minutes of the experiment, we see a wooden structure (building skeleton) which, during inertia oscillates and lifts up on one side and then on the other alternately. This occurs because it is light and the nodes withstand the moment which is created from the static weight of the unsupported side of the structure.
As soon as we place the static load of the two bricks, it still oscillates but the base does not lift up on either side. In this situation the nodes can no longer withstand the additional load of the bricks.
Considering the analysis I have done above, we see why a structure fails when the limits of the design are surpassed.
There is no absolute anti-seismic design.
Current Greek anti-seismic systems have a certain amount of endurance but from this point onwards, the truth is that they are fragile. In my opinion the endurance here has particular limits due to my reasoning above. This phenomenon can be resolved by increasing the cross section plan of the ground floor components. If we do this though, another problem emerges; as stated before; we lose elasticity of the components (and the depreciation of the acceleration).

MY PROPOSED SOLUTION
The solution can be seen in the continuation of the experiment shown in the link above as well as in the explanation below.

There are three issues which need to be addressed in order to apply pre-stressing between the ground and the structure (the clamping of the ground with the structure)
a) bending
b) durability of the materials
c) durability of the ground

For the pre-stressing or clamping of the structure with the ground to operate beneficially during an earthquake, a large cross section plan of the supporting components is necessary as well as very durable materials if it is to provide additional benefits.
Pre fabricated houses offer these two necessary components as they are constructed completely from fortified concrete.
The problem of loose ground (c) is resolved by using Radiere together with the specialised hydraulic traction mechanism. This improves the durability of the ground and provides additional support to the foundations.

See what happens to conventional houses:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgc19...eature=related

Imagine PREFABRICATED houses which are made of fortified concrete and secured (screwed) at their four corners with this seismic base … even if they are turned upside down, nothing can happen to them.
Question:
When we do not screw down the base, what will happen?
Answer:
If we have tall buildings completed constructed from fortified concrete, these will withstand the shearing stress but their nodes will have increased load due to the gap (discussed above) which is created under the base during second moment of the area as well as the greater static load which they bear. The combination of moment and static load creates slanting cracks in the walls.
Because of this prefabricated houses are suitable to be built only a few stories high. If we make the prefabricated house from fortified concrete ONE with the ground though:

http://postimage.org/image/r1aadhj8/

…. It cannot lift up on one side during second moment of the area and in this way we avoid moment of the nodes.

THE FINANCIAL ASPECT

I believe that with this method, prefabricated houses can be placed in towns. Until now these houses have only been suitable for rural areas. The main reason for this is that the law does not allow them to be built more than two stories high.
If they become invulnerable during an earthquake and they can withstand the force with many stories then their construction will be permitted in towns.
At this moment, they are not permitted in towns because if, in a town ten story buildings are allowed and prefabricated ones can only be constructed up to two stories, financially it is not feasible to lose the possibility of another eight stories.

If I enable them to withstand earthquakes, then conventional methods of construction will be dispensed due to the fact that prefabricated structures are 30-50% cheaper because they are industrially produced. This way the manufacturers will profit from this change.

Apart from being for anti-seismic use, my invention can be used as a pre-stressing anchor for the improvement of the ground:

For example: http://postimage.org/image/29l3p1xpg/

That is, it can improve the density of loose ground as well as not allowing the structure to move upwards (during oscillation) or downwards (during subsidence of the ground).

I have already mentioned the placement methods in existing and buildings under construction as well as other types of structures such as dams and bridges etc.

The patent is also appropriate also for the protection of lightweight buildings during tornadoes which are seen mostly in the United States .

From what the examiner says that I have something patentably new and useful. Improved anchoring means comprising expansion anchors in combination with hydraulic tensioning means to keep the building tightly tethered to the ground. This would also be good for hurricane country, like the US Gulf Coast.

in Greece I have the patent.
I had filed for international patent in pct
passed Research Report (A)
Filing in america at the patent office.
I have not gotten a patent in america yet .... expected
more
I went to a university in Greece.
this one http://users.civil.ntua.gr/papadrakakis/
and here http://www.itsak.gr/en
I have the first preliminary results of applied research simulationIs in Greek language. It's very good results.
The Institute of Engineering Seismology and Earthquake EngineeringResearch and Technical Institute has a different opinion.told me that .... there is not a program in whole world that simulates vertical prestressing.
They told me that I need to do ( experiments ) seismic testing on some construction models, because it is not possible to simulate. I have no money for experiments.I want to find a foreign university to work on experiments, without me to pay maney.
The patent is under investigation by me and the Greek university and we have discovered much about the patent.
By design method that I suggest, https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...m6_iuOU6fsUXY2
you have the opportunity to design a flexible structure.
Rigid vertical elements
The main reason I designed the seismic joint (rubber mounted air gap between the baffle plates and the shaft) are
to separate the flexible columns of rigid columns.
With this method, we have a frame construction which is flexible,
and in it, a rigid colomn, which is independent of load bearing because it has a seismic joint
The rigid components to take the main role assigned to them, and is to controlling the deformation of the bearing.
plasticity
a flexible node (the one in seismic joint) deletes the usefulness of plasticity

Basics of simulation

This project involves the numerical simulation and investigate the behavior of the system.
Brief description of the invention
The principal object of the hydraulic tie rod for construction projects of the present invention as well as of the method for constructing building structures utilizing the hydraulic tie rod of the present invention is to minimise the aforesaid problems associated with the safety of construction structures in the event of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, hurricanes and very high lateral winds. According to the present invention, this can be achieved by a continuous pre-stressing (pulling) of both the building structure towards the ground and of the ground towards the structure, making these two parts one body like a sandwich. Said pre-stressing is applied by means of the mechanism of the hydraulic tie rod for construction projects. Said mechanism comprises a steel cable crossing freely in the centre the structure's vertical support elements and also the length of a drilling beneath them. Said steel cable's lower end is tied to an anchor-type mechanism that is embedded into the walls of the drilling to prevent it from being uplifted. Said steel cable's top end is tied to a hydraulic pulling mechanism, exerting a continuous uplifting force. The pulling force applied to the steel cable by means of the hydraulic mechanism and the reaction to such pulling from the fixed anchor at the other end of it generate the desired compression in the construction project.

THIRD EXPERIMENT WITHOUT THE SYSTEM SEISMOSTOP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux8TzWYvuQ0

After the third experiment (Control structure model and base)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTBr0CtjRoM

If the system I have is strong or not, by anchoring structures will be discussed later with another different experiment .
Consider if the foundation of the project with the ground and the roof is better seismic design of the existing earthquake regulations .
Imagine that fat in this experiment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6og4VWFcGA there is only the construction and soil.
The construction in our model starts from the raft and above, and the ground of the iron based seismic and down.
I think that in the depths of a drilling anchors if the anchor is impossible for construction to pick up all this ground.
Since I consider the seismic base as ground very powerful clamping , in our experiment, think that soil is the seismic base, bearings , the W of the iron beam, the beams O.S which rests the foundation, and whatever else may be.
The model ground ( seismic base) join the tendons .
During the oscillation of the model tendons reacted to rising roof and raised the iron seismic base. The iron seismic base in turn raised his bearings which rests , bearings found resistance at the anode were in F the iron beam , and this is well anchored to the beam from the O.S lifted upwards.
All this is a result of chain torque model.

Removing the screws from the bottom of the base changed the whole scene .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux8TzWYvuQ0

The model not having the screws to hold it began to wobble dangerously . The bearings were no longer in the upward tendency of the beam Π, because the model of oscillated only on the basis of seismic iron . Instead of upward trends bearings took percussive strokes of the oscillation of raft on the seismic base. Bearings are dyed and not withstand the impact. For this and broke .
The model does not fight happened almost anything, because it was very powerful nodes ( horizontal and vertical ) and because it was not possible to test the accelerations tested the previous experiment with the bolts , because we would have complete reversal .
The conclusion I make myself is that if the model was more multi storey would have even more sway than that of two floors .... The first conclusion is that this earthquake is very much necessary for the fine buildings to stop the oscillation from the air, and the earthquake .
If this model O.S experiment was made ​​of bricks ( bricks ) without columns, imagine for yourself what would happen if there were no screws and rods . Conclusion necessary that the earthquake in the continuous construction.
This is my opinion .... I would be happy to know and yours .
Basically what makes this invention is that it makes far more powerful rigid large vertical elements , giving them greater resistance to both cutting as well as the lateral loads .
There are many designs for installation , which depend on the architectural design needs .

The ultimate seismic system construction
 
We plan ductile structures, but we also need the torsional stiffness to stop the torsion of asymmetric floors.
Design methods yield (or else plastic zones) which are default locations of failure to be the first ultimate-yield in a powerful earthquake.
My invention provides...
a) vertical elements .... 1) stiffness 2) resistance to shear force 3) greater resistance to horizontal load 4) less deformation 5) strong foundation.

b) Better methods yield-or else plastic zones
Video design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPaNZcHBKRI
My invention provides...
a) vertical elements .... 1) stiffness 2) resistance to shear force 3) greater resistance to horizontal load 4) less deformation 5) strong foundation.
How...?
Brief description of the invention
The principal object of the hydraulic tie rod for construction projects of the present invention as well as of the method for constructing building structures utilizing the hydraulic tie rod of the present invention is to minimise the aforesaid problems associated with the safety of construction structures in the event of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, hurricanes and very high lateral winds. According to the present invention, this can be achieved by a continuous pre-stressing (pulling) of both the building structure towards the ground and of the ground towards the structure, making these two parts one body like a sandwich. Said pre-stressing is applied by means of the mechanism of the hydraulic tie rod for construction projects. Said mechanism comprises a steel cable crossing freely in the centre the structure's vertical
support elements and also the length of a drilling beneath them. Said steel cable's lower end is tied to an anchor-type mechanism that is embedded into the walls of the drilling to prevent it from being uplifted. Said steel cable's top end is tied to a hydraulic pulling mechanism, exerting a continuous uplifting force. The pulling force applied to the steel cable by means of the hydraulic mechanism and the reaction to such pulling from the fixed anchor at the other end of it generate the desired prestressing in the construction project.
This prestressing ensures to the vertical elements of 1) greater stiffness 2) resistance to shear force 3) greater resistance to horizontal load 4) less deformation 5) strong foundation.
b) Better methods yield-or else plastic zones
In the video we see two static systems....one inside the other.
The first prestressed rigid structure has 1) greater stiffness 2) resistance to shear force 3) greater resistance to horizontal load 4) less deformation 5) strong foundation,...to receive large shocks from ductile static carrier and stop the deformation of ductile static carrier.
At the height of the plates created seismic joint for two reasons
1)The seismic joint gradually grows on the upper floors to avoid transferring loads to the lower floors, derived from the primary impact plate - elevator shaft
See the plan http://s5.postimg.org/rllh3dhzb/002.jpg
2)For to separate the vertical rigid elements of the ductile elements for better cooperation between these two structural systems

The seismic joint gives freedom to all the free movement of ductile construction which itself is a mechanism amortization of seismic energy.
Amortization of seismic energy ensures the invention of the video .. to
1) The hydraulic system on the roof.
2) The seismic joint
3) The horizontal seismic isolation
These two structural systems can work together as we see in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPaNZcHBKRI
or we can only use the rigid structural system itself to build rigid structures, as indicated by the links

Read something else...
not write it in the books.

Equilibrium equations is the great need of building
The loadings (external or static) will always exist.
We can not eliminate loads.
But we can drive loads in sections that are stronger than other sections.
Vertical cross sections of the columns are stronger than horizontal cross sections of the columns.
All structures with nodes lead loads in the horizontal cross section of the column.
The roof - soil compaction deflects lateral earthquake loads in vertical sections of pillars. These sections are stronger and withstand more loads.

As shown in Figure 1 http://postimg.org/image/rbudm6oqr/
When the column is at stationary state, the static actions are balanced with the opposing forces of soil
As shown in Figure 3 http://postimg.org/image/rbudm6oqr/
The oscillation of the building changes the vertical axis of the column
See the slope change P that is observed at the regional sides.
As shown in Figure 2 http://postimg.org/image/rbudm6oqr/
The combination of static actions, Σ with the changes of vertical axis of the column, create the torsional moment P of the node.
How the invention stops the existence torsional moment P of the node.
As shown in Figure 4 http://postimg.org/image/rbudm6oqr/
Clamped column can not be moved up and down because it is clamped with the ground, with the mechanism of the invention.
As shown in Figure 5 http://postimg.org/image/rbudm6oqr/
The Clamped column with the ground, stops the oscillation of the vertical axis of the column, because the hydraulic mechanism of the invention applies an opposite stress in the rise of the roof Δ ( derived from the clamped anchor in soil ) and another inverted stress in the base Ε
As shown in Figure 6 http://postimg.org/image/rbudm6oqr/
The Clamped column with the ground, transfer lateral load of inertia at the vertical axis of the column, as shear force.
This does not happen with the seismic design of today.
Τhe seismic design of today drives the shear forces at the small sections of the columns and beams.
What design is the best?
1) To plan the seismic design of today drives the shear forces at the small sections of the columns and beams.
or 2) To plan the seismic design of today drives the shear forces at the small sections of the columns and beams, plus...The Clamped column with the ground, transfer lateral load of inertia at the vertical axis of the column, as shear force?
Also ... prestressed construction ...
a) reduces the eigenfrequency construction / soil
b) Increases active behaviour of columns
c) Increases resistance to shear
e) improves the oblique tension
