Abstract
An earthquake-resistant building connection includes first and second structural elements lying a distance from each other, where the first element includes an outer side face that faces the second element. The first element includes at least one projecting member that projects from the outer side face of the first element into a cavity in the second element. The cavity is wider, higher and deeper than the member. The first element also includes an elastic component for absorbing forces and motions of an earthquake. The component has an outer surface that extends around the member and faces the second element, forming a fill area between the outer surface of the component and the second element and further between the member and the cavity. The fill area is filled such that forces and motions transferred between the first and second elements in the event of an earthquake are absorbed in the component.
