ABSTRACT:
An earthquake resisting support construction which supports a structure at a required position on the surface of ground having a bearing capacity of soil large enough to withstand the weight of the structure, comprising, at each support position: a number of base-stones buried and arranged in the ground to provide a horizontal finished top surface; a cornerstone having parallel top and bottom surfaces and disposed on the number of base-stones to produce friction between the finished top surface of the base-stones and the bottom of the cornerstone; and a pedestal having a centrally-disposed void in its bottom and mounted on the cornerstone, with the marginal portion of its bottom held in frictional contact with the top of the cornerstone.
