ANTI SEISMIC AND EOLORRESISTENT

SEISMIC AND WIND RESISTANT HOUSE

wind resistant The pyramidal structure has been tested in a wind tunnel, demonstrating great advantage over any other structure. The only relevant exception is the dome. But in practice, when making a house or a shelter, the pyramid has flat faces, while the domes have an arc of a circle, which makes it challenging to get materials that adjust without borders or cracks where the wind can "hook." So most domes have many disadvantages, while the pyramid resists more both in structure and in its parts. Pyramidal architecture has been in the remote past, as much as now, the maximum paradigm of multipurpose architecture.

The Pyramidhouse has many advantages that no other construction can offer.

1) PYRAMIDAL EFFECT: Nothing rots inside, it's bacteriostatic, sedative, relaxing, antioxidant, anti-rheumatic, etc. (See Benefits). But it implies many more things that can only be appreciated through self-experience. Anyway, good theoretical knowledge is essential for the engineer or architect to design better pyramidal buildings, safer, more functional and make sure that it will work in its aspect of "pyramid apparatus." The best engineers and architects are not "the most creative," but those who add creativity and aesthetics to the responsibility and accuracy of their designs.

As for the pyramidal effect, they must be well informed on the subject, because problems have occurred with poorly constructed pyramids due to lack of knowledge, which in some cases the owners had to abandon the house. No serious damage recorded, but the inconvenience caused by inappropriate materials, ignorance of the effects, and not knowing how to use pyramids represents economic damage for people, a discredit for construction professionals and indirect harm to pyramidology.

wind resistant 2) SEISMO-RESISTANT: Earthquakes forces architects to employ extreme precautions when designing, but for owners, to make earthquake-resistant structures, represents a considerable expense. A properly built Pyramidal House is unmatched in that regard, it would be necessary to open a crack so large as to swallow the entire house. It can tilt in case of an earthquake that modifies the ground levels, and things inside can fall and break, but the structure and the walls themselves will resist without collapsing. However, not any pyramidal structure works, only those carried out with a correct structure analysis according to the materials.

For many reasons, the structure of a pyramidal house must be made of laminated wood, or adequately treated noble wood (parked, dried, water-repellent and fire-retardant,) the use of ferromagnetic and diamagnetic metals should be avoided as much as possible. So we can't use supports or reinforcements of steel or iron, but assemblies of aluminum, duralumin, titanium aluminum attached to the wood itself (spikes or studs). Making pyramidal structures entirely in aluminum or carbon fibre to make panel assemblies as traditional constructions require costs that far exceed what's viable for the vast majority of Users. Also, the construction location, according to the distance to the isogonal zero, will determine if the house must be made of fixed anchorage or with the possibility for future reorientation. In either case, the earthquake resistance (or seismic resistance) should be based on the compaction of the structure as a single unit. The use of elements (bolts, anchors, etc.) made of stainless steel is allowed for anchoring because it's only in the perimeter and just a few centimetres above the base beams.

wind resistant 3) EOLORRESISTENT: A properly anchored Pyramidhouse could withstand winds of more than 250 km / h without any damage unless the outer cover is made of tile or other materials (sometimes forced by "urban dictatorships," especially in Europe) that prevent the faces from being completely smooth. In such a case, only the outer covering would be affected, not the walls, which are composed of wood in exterior and interior, separated by a thermoacoustic insulator. Our houses usually have a homogeneous ceramic coating applied like paint, similar to that used in the aerospace industry. However, there is a particular paint option that lightens the load and meets all the requirements of the best roof. Special care is taken on the openings, making sure not to leave more bumps than the few millimetres of the edge of the windows, and the door to be the only hole of the shape.

Pyramidhouses shouldn't have a back door, but any simulated system instead, without breaking the plane of the opposite, laterals or front face.

The lines of force in typical construction remain parallel to the ground, pushing the structure and or its parts. In a Pyramidhouse, the force generated by the wind pushes the pyramid downwards. An adequate anchorage is enough for the wind itself to keep the Pyramidhouse in place.
