ABSTRACT:
A building system for seismic-active areas includes a base structure and an upper structure connected to the base structure by a system of connector means which collectively provide a relatively rigid interconnection under normal conditions and a relatively flexible connection when subjected to seismic disturbances. When the building system is subjected to seismic disturbances, rigid connector members fail by buckling and other connector members flex without failing to provide the relatively flexible interconnection.
