Base isolation pads can be built to absorb the vibrations to withstand earthquakes. Building materials can be reinforced to withstand an earthquake. For example, wood can be reinforced with bolts to make the wood more secure.
Concrete and steel
i guess you should use steal
The Transamerica Pyramid can resist earthquakes because: 1. The building was built on a special base platform that allows it to reduce shaking from earthquakes. 2. Diagonal trusses at its base protect it from both horizontal and vertical forces. 3. It has a a 212 foot spire 4. It has a wide heavy base, declining in weight as the height increases. 5. Has some flexibility which is helpful in making sure the building doesn't just collapse during the earthquake 6. The little wing structures near the top
There are large weights at the top or on each floor of the building that move back and forth opposite to the movement of the ground during the earthquake. There are also base isolators which the supports of the building sit on, and when the ground moves it just moves the isolators underneath the building and the building stays in place. Also steel frames help a lot, and if not steel then wood.
Often much of the damage during earthquakes comes from fires and flooding caused by damaged utilities. Gas pipes or water mains can be broken during the earthquakes. Flexible joints in the lines can protect them from breakage and automatic shut-off valves can be used to stop gas and water flow.
because if there is an earthquake you could use your pillow to protect your head/face from falling objects hitting it.
building oil pipelines above ground
use stronger materials when building overpasses and bridges
Catastrophic earthquakes will always present great threat and loss of life. But Haiti as a poor country had a poorly constructed infrastructure (roads, bridges, sewer etc) and no building codes. Without higher quality building materials and building codes, Haiti could again suffer if another large quake occurs.
use stronger materials when building overpasses and bridges
to protect you when you have to work with or near contamined materials
Some buildings have steel infrastructures and concrete outsides that protect them with immense strength. Others are able to flex with the tremors caused by earthquakes and relieve the energy being transferred to them.
they do nothing
Scotland
by defending it
some features are more subtle than others. Like shock absorbers, or something as easy as making the building flexable so it can move with the quake.
C. To protect them during earthquakes
Get under a table or doorframe and cover your head.
