Can civil engineers find the therory of plate tectonics useful and how?
The theory of plate tectonics concerns civil engineers most because of earthquakes. In an earthquake, the edges of two tectonic plates move against each other, creating a variety of forces and stresses on structures in the area. By understanding these forces, civil engineers can design buildings and bridges that are better able to withstand earthquakes.
How do architects design buildings houses and bridges to withstand earthquakes?
They don't. Civil Engineers are the ones who design structures to withstand earthquakes. All an architect can do is make it look pretty before mother nature takes a hit at it.
How does big ben withstand earthquakes?
Big Ben is in London, England which doesn't have a problem with earthquakes.
Which building material does not generally withstand shaking from earthquakes?
Adobe
What terms describes a structure made to withstand earthquakes?
Disaster (natural)
How much temperature IS2062 can with stand?
How much temperature can IS 2062 can withstand
Why the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was important?
It led to geological studies that have proven that the Andreas fault line is certain to cause periodic earthquakes such as the one in San Francisco in 1989. What it did was cause architects and engineers to build buildings that can withstand certain levels of earthquakes. Earth movements in California are common. No major earthquakes have happened in the last few decades. However, as in 1906, the earth has demonstrated that havoc can happen at any time in the future.
What do people learn from earthquakes?
How to prepared for the next earthquake. For example, construction has enhanced significantly due to earthquakes. Buildings are now built to withstand any earthquake.
What are the problems faced by people in trying to reduce earthquakes?
There is no way to reduce an earthquake, however you can reduce the damage an earhquake causes by constructing buildings to withstand earthquakes.
Why is it important for us to indentify areas which are prone to earthquakes?
Areas prone to earthquakes should be identified so that people can prepare for them. Most notably, bridges and public buildings should be built to withstand earthquakes.
Why can a camel withstand high temperature?
a camel withstand high temperatures because they have stored water in their body
Does The Pyramid shape of the building help it withstand earthquakes?
I wonder which earthquakes could the egiptians be afraid of, I never heard of earthquakes in the Middle East except for pollitical ones. the question is answered below, apparently a cube is a better shape to resist earthquakes.
