Earthquake resistant structure plans of 2012
Earthquake is one of the most uncertain natural calamities that occur leading to a massive loss of human life and property. We may be scientifically quite advanced to reach the moon and even mars but we are way behind in finding a solution to the massive destruction that happens during an earthquake. When an earthquake occur the movement of the plates is quite less in terms of distance but the force generated is quite high which results in the massive destruction. In this section we will discuss what makes a building fall during an earthquake and what are the possible ways by which we can prevent this fall? Buildings fall during earthquake- why? During an earthquake the ground moves like a series of shock waves in a similar manner as what happens when we throw a pebble in water. The ripples formed in the action can be used as an example to describe the series of shock during the earthquake. Such shock series or a sudden movement of the ground generates huge force which sh...
