ABSTRACT. The solution is based on the indirect foundation by using reinforced concrete or steel piles which are specially constructed. All the existing theoretical solutions show that the new proposed way of indirect foundation allows:
- to abate the frequency of free vibrations of a building from 2 to 10 times, - to abate the transmission of amplitudes of soil vibrations to the construction of a
building considerably and even reduce to negligible quantities, - to eliminate the influence of slipping and creeping, - to execute quick and effective vertical rectification of a building. The advantages of indirect foundation will have an effect on safety and comfort of the
buildings placed on seismic and paraseismic grounts. A practical application of the proposed solutions of indirect foundation of buildings requires a testing model which would verify theoretical assumption. Keywords: active seismic grounds. Building protection, piles which are not completely plunged into the ground. Dr eng. Mikołaj Kłapoć assistant professor at the Civil Engineering Department of the Engineering College in Zielona Góra, Poland. He specializes in rheology, paraseismic problems and industrial building problems. He has published a lot of articles and some time ago he was an UN expert in the field of building engineering. At present he is vicechairman of the Section Board of the Provincial Building Engineer Association. He has also acted as vice rector of the College. Dr eng. Gerard Bryś Lecturer at the Building Structure Department of the Engineering College in Zielona Góra, Poland. He specializes in numercial analysis of load-carrging ability of structures.
