PPT-Earthquake Proof Buildings

The Transamerica Pyramid San Fransisco It has been build pyramid shaped as this is hard to topple over http Footage of the transamerica pyramid The Beijing National Stadium China To earthquakeproof the stadium the bowl and roof were split into two separate elements and the bowl split into eight zones each with its own stability system and effectively its own building . Are You Prepared To Ride It Out? We have heard it so many times –the “big one” is coming. In our lifetime, we still haven’t seen or felt that huge earthquake. That shouldn’t stop us from preparing.

Because earthquakes can cause walls to crack, foundations to move and even entire buildings to crumple, engineers incorporate into their structural designs techniques that withstand damage from earthquake forces, for example, cross bracing, large bases and . Base Isolators. These pads separate, or isolate, a building from it’s foundation and prevent some of an earthquake’s energy from entering the building.. Base Isolators. Japan testing base isolators .
