Abstract:
1. A seismic isolation building system comprising: at least one structural platform laid horizontally on a ground surface providing a foundation for a structure thereon; a plurality of piles extending from the platform into the ground surface on which the at least one structural platform is placed; at least one plate inserted between the pile and platform that is fixed to the platform, wherein said at least one plate comprises at least one platform plate; and, at least one further plate fixedly linked to the pile and which abuts the platform plate, wherein said at least one further plate comprises at least one pile plate; wherein the plurality of piles are connected to the at least one structural platform via at least one shear bolt that links a platform plate of said at least one platform plate to a pile of said plurality of piles, and, wherein the at least one shear bolt is designed to shear during a predetermined level of seismic activity freeing the at least one structural platform to move independent of the plurality of piles, and which, post seismic activity, be moved, repositioned and/or re-fixed to new piles or existing piles of said plurality of piles.
