Earthquake Resistant Structures

1. This is an experiment to determine which structures can withstand earthquakes: basic, earthquake-resistant, reseismic, and seismic isolation.

2. Go to an empty vacant lot

3. create a structure by throwing a basic, earthquake-resistant, reseismic, and earthquake-resistant structure in the vacant lot respectively

4. enter the container that generates earthquakes and observe what happens when the seismic intensity is increased

5. Observe the collapse of the basic structure when it reaches a magnitude 4 environment.

6. observe which buildings collapse when the intensity is increased to create a magnitude 6 environment

7. Observe the collapse of earthquake-resistant structures when the environment is subjected to a magnitude 6.

8. Increase the intensity and observe which buildings collapse when the environment reaches a magnitude of 8.

9. Observe the collapse of the rebuilt structure when the environment is subjected to a magnitude 8.

10. increase the intensity and observe which building collapses when it reaches magnitude 10

11. the seismically isolated building did not collapse at magnitude 10.

The earthquake-resistant buildings were found to be seismically isolated.

<Results

• Seismic isolation > Damping > Earthquake-resistant buildings > Normal buildings shake less
