An earthquake-resistant architectural system incorporates a number of homeostatic devices which offer increasing, instead of decreasing, resistance to a load and its resulting stresses. A common feature of the improvement is that support posts are topped by bearings facing each other and having grooved channels which are inclined at an angle to the longitudinal axis of each resilient transverse member at rest, so that a horizontal distance, when measured in a straight line between opposite points of contact in the grooved channels, decreases as the load increases and bends each resilient transverse member. |
