    Excellent and simply explained.
    An earthquake consists of more than just lateral dynamics, which are the "P-waves", which travel the fastest and arrive at the surface first. The "S-waves" are also extremely devastating, which manifest more or less vertically at the surface, travelling more slowly and arriving after the lateral waves. Designing buildings to survive both of these is extremely difficult.
    It would be great to see how structural engineers have learned to strengthen buildings for both of these wave types.
    Would be be awesome if you could illustrate this so vividly.

    Buildings following building code makes all the difference. 30 years ago, 2000 people were killed by an earthquake in my area and other neighboring cities here in the Philippines. But a recent earthquake similar in strength only killed 5 people. A lesson learned the hard way.

      It is not about engineering or building technology it is about MORALITY. They have used sand , thin and straight steel , low quality concrete. The samples show the reason why those buildings have collapsed. It is not just sand but newspaper parts , protective foams , evil eye bead .. everything but not conctrete in any of the columns! Yet , people call themselves we are Muslim, elhamdülillah!!

    Very educational ,the demo is awesome!
    😉I really want to rebuild redesign my house in an open design but try to figure out the best earthquake proofing that works.
    Anyway, the 6 floor but wide medical building I worked in was build in the late 80’s and it’s built on the roller technology. I always tell our patients that the building has rollers. We feel we are just swaying as if you are on a boat every time an earthquake happens. Also I notice the building has a small degree of lean since I observed that water on the floor changes directions from time to time since we are on the top floor ,which I tell my new staff getting trained in Sports orthopedics 😉we use a lot of saline irrigation that falls on the floor😉

    There are even more methods and some have been used for centuries!
    The best example I can think of are Japanese castles with their drywall foundations and unusual wooden joints. Another example were some images of the Aartal where a flood erased brick and stone buildings, but left timber frame buildings standing (ground floor walls gone, but the frame kept supporting the upper floors). This type of construction also withstands earthquakes relatively well. I just wonder how it compares to very similar Japanese wood structures, which seem to put more of an emphasis on sliding.

    I am civil engineer in kenya, can you make a video on flat slab suitability for seismic design? Buildings need a frame arrangement between columns via beams, slab diaphragms and beams form a closed tied up diaphragm that transfer seismic loads to either the bracings, shear walls or moment frames. What do you think about flat slab construction where there is no frame action. Is flat slab suitable for a high rise building in high seismic zone?

    • @civilengineeringworld4260
      @civilengineeringworld4260 13 дней назад

      Absolutely not, as in flat slabs punching shear occur and to control this drop panels or drop panels with column capitals are used in low rise apartments, buildings. We can move towards band or waffle salbs but it depends upon totally usage.

  • @drpoundsign
    @drpoundsign 11 месяцев назад

    I have a Question about Base Isolation: what keeps the building frame from hitting the Foundation wall in a Severe Quake-unless there are dampers??
    The Water tank on top is Interesting. But, what you had a tall, narrow "Dummy Tower" in the middle of All high-rise and mid-rise buildings. It would be a continuation of the central vertical columns. And, Then, on top of those columns, you had narrow poles made of Carbon Fibre or some other space-age material.
    I''m thinking of a Vertical Bullwhip here. A whip cracks at >Mach One because of transfer of momentum from the handle to the fall, and finally-the cracker. Similarly-the tower and poles could theoretically transfer momentum from the ground-shaking to the less massive tower and poles, similar to a Cue Ball striking an Object Ball.
