ABSTRACT:
An earth quake resistant structure having a superstructure and at least one load distributing base supporting said superstructure, the connections between said structure and the earth being essentially a support means and a connecting means, said support means transferring to the ground the load of the structure in a first direction from said load distributing base, said support means providing elastic resistance to movement of the structure in all directions perpendicular to said first direction so that said support means is able to follow dynamic movements of the ground in said perpendicular directions without transferring great forces from the ground to said base in said perpendicular directions, said structure being provided with peripheral clearance from the ground in said perpendicular direction so that said base can move a predetermined distance through said clearance relative to the ground in said perpendicular direction.
