Prefabricated anti-seismic hospital
3D design of modular hospital buildings that may have anti-seismic constraints on the ground, according to the anti-seismic patent.
The anti-seismic hospital buildings as a whole, its structural steel modules, including stainless steel, of which these buildings are made and the mechanical constraints to the ground of said buildings are designed in 3D, to then be industrially produced, transported and assembled on site.
During and after strong earthquakes and following serious disasters, activities are concentrated in hospitals and difficulties, urgencies and expectations arise perhaps more than in any other place.
The design of anti-seismic hospital structures, in addition to the specific peculiarities of the individual departments, considers the functionality of the hospitals as a whole as a priority, particularly in emergency situations.
From the beginning of the structural planning, attention is paid to the various possible emergencies that may affect the hospital structure, resulting from pandemics, earthquakes and other natural or war disasters, also in relation to the peculiarities of the territory.
Operational hospital facilities remain safe and accessible during emergencies and activities continue in them during emergencies and in particular during seismic shocks.
Surgical operations, clearly, are the activities that present the greatest risks and difficulties during an earthquake.
The anti-seismic hospital is designed so that surgical activity continues safely for surgeons and those operating, while seismic tremors shake the ground.
Current anti-seismic hospitals resist earthquake shocks, if they are not very violent, but they oscillate and in these conditions, surgical operations are impossible, due to the dynamics that objects, equipment and people present in the operating room are subjected to.
The panic caused by the tremors represents a significant danger, in particular for the surgical operations taking place during the earthquake.
The anti-seismic modular hospital building, with patented ground constraint, resists high magnitude earthquakes and in it hospital activities normally take place during seismic shocks, including the most delicate ones, such as surgical operations.
The stairs, whose metal structure is integrated into the structure of the modular anti-seismic hospital, remain accessible during the earthquake.
The elevators, the structure of which is integrated into the structure of the modular hospital building, remain functional during seismic tremors.
