Re purpose no. 1

The walls of the buildings are generally build up from concrete building elements, which are pressured by vertical tensioning rods. As a result of this as well as by the building element's own weight a pressure buildup will develop in the lower elements. Due to combined pulling rods and pressure pipes, pressure-distribution plates and sets of disc-springs, however, the walls of each story of the building are subject to the same controlled amount of pressure. Besides vertical rods, 3 horizontal rods will used per story.

FEM-calculations of a tracking house-wall by TNO learn that loading each wall with a constant value of one single wall, provides the safest situation for earthquakes.

Re purpose no. 2

The building elements are to pile easily, whereby the walls become rigid by means of the tensioning rods.

 Two types of building elements can be used:
 --cement bricks as used in many countries around the world: lxwxh=400x200x200 mm,
    each with two square holes.
 --special designed relatively cheap building elements, with which very little mortar is needed.

The main principle: each floor has the same force situation!!

Re purpose no. 3

Re purpose no. 4

The use of specially designed building elements enables us to place more elements (or even complete walls) at the same time. Since the cement bricks especially are used in third-world countries, there will be no need for mechanization for the time being.

Hupkens Engineering's earthquake resistant trackinghouse. The trackinghouse construction
method is developed for earthquake resistant houses and business buildings. Resistant for
natural disasters like earthquakes, landslides, cyclones and hurricanes, but also resistant for
terrorist attacks. This earthquake resistant building has a special element in it, what makes the
trackinghouse resistant for the most biggest earthquakes and terror attacks. The earthquake
resistant method is lowcost and therefore extremely suitable for less prosperous inhabitants in
earthquake sensitive areas around the world. The building principle also lends itself well to
mechanized building.
