- TITLE A SYSTEM TO PROTECT TALL BUILDING FROM EARTHQUAKE GIVTNG A GARBAGE TREATMENT PLANT AS BONUS
- This disclosure relates generally to technical fields of Protection and stabilization of tall building from earthquake.
- a system and method to store and treat large quantities of garbage and waste biomass where garbage is stored in a high rise structure formed of restricting pillars, wherein garbage is being surrounded by odor isolation and odor absorption layer, the inertial mass so formed and retained enables unique protection from earthquake to ad joint tall building which is connected to the mass wherein the mass stands due to gravity which always acts downwards compressing the mass.
- the system comprising of pillars forming the restricting structure named as main restricting structure in this document, which holds the garbage that is staked to large heights and an important aspect being the inertial mass so formed has a large base area, and having flexible enclosing wall which forms the restricting structure for the garbage that is staked to large heights.
- the system further comprises of central rods for stabilizing the mass and aerator pipes and biogas collection pipes, connecting structures to connect inertial mass which is generally a central mass, to the adjacent building, conveyer belt to convey garbage with spreader on top of mass, a inoculation system to inoculate micro organisms that are resistant to high pressure, earthquake wave redirection and deflection structure.
- the system further comprises of side structure with stories to enable aerobic treatment of garbage and biomass to generate compost, thick walls at ground level to withstand pressure, augers and conveyer belts to add and remove matter.
- the system uses waste material and garbage as a structural element and structural matrix to stabilize against forces of earth movement, damp vibration, and Shockwaves and reduce bending.
- the base area of the main retaining structure 100 meters length by 100 meters breadth and having a height of 60 meters which can hold about half a million tons of garbage with capacity being sufficient to hold garbage produced in 4 months for a city producing 5000 tons of garbage a day.
- the presence of critical mass on large ground area prevents collapse of the mass, which stands due to gravity, and the mass acts as counter balance to swaying and shifting movement of earth and reduce the severity of stress on the structural frame of the protected building.
- the main retaining structure can be one of square, rectangle, round, triangle or any irregular shape while the inertial mass is one of cubic, pyramidal, cylindrical, conical, and any irregular configuration doing the same function of providing inertial mass.
- Space elevator US 9,085,897 B2 where stabilization is provided by rotating mass as gyro to stabilize tall structure .
- shifting counter mass is used at top of building to damp swaying and vibration.
- the prior art has silos to store fodder but there are no silos in a city for storing garbage.
- Silos have a small base area compared to what is needed for stable presence without collapse and silos are not adjoined to any other buildings.
- Small vertical bins are given in US 2010/01 12675 ulti stage composting wherein a small vertical bin is used which is different form the large mass formed in the present system.
- Incineration and burning systems for garbage disposal pollute the air by releasing noxious gases and burning a waste of mineral plant nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen while the present system does not waste these valuable plant nutrients due to composting of the garbage and use of the resulting compost as plant fertilizer.
- the present invention over comes the problems in the prior art.
- the problem of garbage also called, as municipal solid waste is a problem not properly solved as evidenced by documentation in newspapers and court cases related to garbage and complaints by people living in neighborhood of treatment areas and treatment plants.
- This problem is solved by the present invention
- Prior art methods and apparatus and systems have additional problem of need for segregation of waste, relatively small quantities handled compared to the volume generated, expensive equipment and air pollution.
- the present invention is not two separate inventions but a single invention as with out the advantage offered by the garbage as inertial mass in earthquake protection, the tall structure will not be stabilized from vibration at such a low cost and no person will allow a large garbage treatment plant next to his house or within his building, if there is no advantage to his building like what the garbage mass provides as protection.
- the retaining pillars can be built as interlocking pillar segments assembled so that entire structure can be built by assembly in a fast manner and assembled allows concrete setting in each floor simultaneously so that construction is done at a fast pace.
- the floor refers to floors used where aerobic treatment of garbage is needed under normal low pressure as illustrated in figure 4.
- the pillar joints have a telescoping joint being a piston like formation to change length and to withstand high pressure the gap is filled with fluid and act like damper and adopt for various forces as in case of
- Earthquake wave deflection structure comprising of beams and plates are placed in the ground by drilling and excavating method, to divert the earthquake wave forces towards the inertial mass where it gets damped due to the unconsolidated nature of the inertial mass.
- the said deflection structure is directly connected to inertial mass through beams where required and indirectly connected through the floor which is not connected to the retaining pillar and wall so the forces from earthquake are transferred to the damping mass.
- the deflection structure could also be a layer of rigid mass having beams to transfer forces.
- the deflection structure is not connected to foundation pillars of protected building.
- High pressure resulting in the inertial mass can be used to enable chemical reactions similar to that leading to petroleum formation, wherein conversion of cellulose to fuel like diesel with necessary provision of heat through heat exchangers and added enzymes and catalyst and further treated by methods such as one described in patent US 9,017,428 by skipping the pyrolyzing part of the method.
- Odor containment is an important aspect where in the entire inertial mass is enclosed by plastic reinforced fabric to contain odor causing gases. This is just like the human body encloses and encapsulates waste matter in intestinal tubes so well that the next person you meet does not offend you in spite of containing waste matter. Drained water is collected separately by drainage pipes and treated.
- the scope of the invention is wide as garbage conveyance and storage is a real problem not addressed effectively by prior art and available commercial systems in a cost effective and timely manner especially for developing countries and cities with large slum presence and low affordability but still the job has to done with inventive cleverness instead of blaming the system and economy, the government and people in general.
- the scope of the system extends to protecting structures at beaches using
