(57) The invention relates to the design and construction of residential, public and industrial
buildings and structures having a flexible framework and earthquake-resistant kinematic
foundations. An earthquake-resistant foundation consists of a supporting structure,
and an upright post with a cylindrical heel having a spherical lower surface that
constitutes a portion of a sphere having a radius R freely supported on a flat supporting
foundation, said supporting structure and said upright post being hingedly connected
to one another and being protected against corrosion. The spherical surface of the
heel has a radius R = 1,05H to R = 1,2H and is provided with an insert member. The
insert member is spherically shaped with flat edges and a flat centre portion, and
the lateral surface of the upright post, beginning from the middle downwards, forms
a conical surface. The claimed invention achieves the technical effect of providing
more effective earthquake-resistance for buildings and reducing material outlay.
