MUMBAI, India, Aug. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521014867 A) filed by Patel Kashibhai Mangalbhai on February 21, 2025, for Bricks For Earthquake Proof Construction.
Inventor includes Patel Kashibhai Mangalbhai.
The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.
Abstract: Abstract The present invention, BRICKS FOR EARTHQUAKE PROOF CONSTRUCTION, introduces a novel seismic-resistant construction system utilizing specially designed bricks or blocks with one horizontal groove and two vertical grooves. Metal rods are inserted into these grooves, running both horizontally and vertically, and are encapsulated with a cement and sand mixture, significantly enhancing structural rigidity. This system effectively distributes seismic forces, preventing their direct transfer to the upper structure, thereby reducing damage and improving earthquake resistance. Unlike conventional methods that rely on costly seismic isolators or complex reinforcement techniques, this invention offers a cost-effective, easy-to-implement, and durable solution for earthquake-proof construction. It is particularly beneficial for high-rise buildings and general construction, as it requires no specialized skills for implementation. The system also ensures independent movement of foundation layers, mitigating the destructive impact of seismic forces. This invention provides an innovative, reliable, and accessible method to safeguard structures and human lives during earthquakes.
