Abstract
A structural system comprising a plurality of tie elements (3) defining the base perimeter of a house, load-bearing metal columns (5) mounted thereon, and a continuous inwardly-open recess extending along the full length of the elements and receiving horizontal reinforcements (18, 19) that form an unbroken chain around the edges of the base. Anchoring reinforcements (12) extend away from the foundation and curve through the elements and along said recess, and hooks (15) are hung from an inwardly projecting portion (14) in such a way that the curved ends of the hooks are located in said recess. The hooks, the horizontal reinforcements and the anchoring reinforcements are all intended to be embedded in concrete cast in the recess. The system is particularly useful for building earthquake-proof single-family dwellings.
