According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "AI-Driven Adaptive Seismic-Resistant Building Framework with Integrated Energy-Dissipating Components for Earthquake-Prone Regions The present invention relates to an AI-driven adaptive seismic-resistant building framework designed for earthquake-prone regions. The system integrates structural sensors, energy-dissipating components, and artificial intelligence to monitor seismic activity and building response in real time. By analyzing the collected data, the framework can dynamically adjust damping, stiffness, and load distribution to minimize structural damage, enhance occupant safety, and improve building resilience during earthquakes. The framework comprises a modular structural skeleton equipped with integrated energy-dissipating devices, such as viscoelastic dampers, friction dampers, and base isolators, strategically positioned throughout the building. A network of sensors-including accelerometers, strain gauges, and displacement sensors-continuously measures vibrations, stresses, and displacements. The AI control unit processes this data using predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms to determine the optimal adaptive response, commanding energy-dissipating components to modulate in real time according to the seismic load. The system incorporates a centralized communication and monitoring module that allows remote oversight, predictive maintenance, and post-earthquake structural assessment. Multiple adaptive components can be coordinated for large-scale or multi-story buildings, ensuring global stability while optimizing energy dissipation. This invention offers a scalable, intelligent, and efficient solution for earthquake-resistant construction, significantly reducing structural damage, repair costs, and risk to occupants compared to conventional static designs."
