Aseismic building
When an earthquake occurs, the aseismic building does not suffer seismic shocks, in the sense that the earthquake does not shake it.
The aseismic building is not, strictly speaking, an anti-seismic building and it does not need to be, it is simply not subject to the seismic shocks of the earthquake.
The aseismic characteristic of the building is due to the bond of the building with the ground. ( Aseismic building patent )
In the aseismic building all the normal and usual activities that take place there can continue during the earthquake.
The energy of the earthquake does not cause damage to the building or to the people present in it.
Stairs, elevators and hoists remain accessible during seismic shocks.
The building is designed to resist earthquakes of the maximum foreseeable magnitude, which could reasonably occur where the building stands.
The relatively higher design and construction costs of the aseismic building and more generally of any aseismic structure, in the event of an earthquake, even a catastrophic one, are compensated by the preservation of the building, by the preservation of those who live and work there and by the safety that some strategic and institutional functions and activities, which may take place there, are not interrupted and remain protected in any case.
