Anti-seismic(?) building = expensive, complicated, elitist, until today.
Vs.
Gravity = anti-seismic(!), economical, simple, affordable, as of today.
In this section, we illustrate the major practical applications of Gravity.
We are looking for companies to exploit the potential of its patent, develop it and become leaders in the anti-seismic construction sector
If, on the other hand, you are interested in the principles of its functioning, click below;
we look for institutions to deepen their dynamics and enter the history of earthquake engineering by writing the new rules.

Gravity, plastic and supporting structures
Plastic
Plastic is a chemical material that comes from the processing of petroleum. For the production of all the plastics used today in the world, less than 5% of the total oil extracted is used, a fact which confirms the moderate impact that this industrial process has on the consumption of non-renewable raw materials.
Plastic or plastics?
When we say plastic, we actually mean different polymers which, based on their size and molecular structure, can have different properties. The polymers, normally produced in the form of granules, liquids or solutions, are then subjected to four different types of processing depending on the product to be obtained.
Plastics in construction
Plastic in construction finds a thousand applications, in ALMOST all areas. Many products are actually slabs, of various materials and for the most disparate uses. Another very wide use is as a container, in boxes, tubes or other shapes. Plastic has a thousand advantages, but a couple of defects, at least in construction, which have so far excluded it from the most important sector, that of load-bearing structures.
Plastics with load-bearing functions
If we exclude some known experiments, plastic is practically excluded as a building material of bearing capacity. Not because some bricks cannot be load-bearing, but because the button joints are unsafe, the mortars do not bind, and the chemical adhesives cost too much, taking the experiments out of the market in terms of costs and safety.
Gravity and the plastic bricks
Plastic and especially recycled plastic seem to be one of the main materials for the use of Gravity.
Recycled or not, cast or modelled in other ways, the few examples given so far make it the most interesting material for future studies; the absence of binders solves the problem at the root.
Plastic houses? Not exactly.
Construction is not just housing: warehouses, stables, shelters,
greenhouses, logistics centres, mountain shelters, museums and a thousand other buildings and constructions do not require the constant presence of people living there. In the same way, some parts of skyscrapers, barracks or other buildings would find an added value in the lightness of the walls with the same resistance.
Gravity with recycled plastic: just advantages
Lightweight, transportable, without the use of fresh water or chemical binders, solid, indestructible, demountable, without residues, modular, versatile ...
Introducing Gravity in your portfolio and in your R&D plans could mean changing the world of construction, revolutionizing the concept of recycling and the balance sheet of your company.
