What earthquake magnitude can a brick building withstand?
it all depends on the material that they build there building. In this case a brick building can resist if it has a good foundation of ground if not it could collapse. My best guess is less than 7.o or 6.6.
Why houses in earthquake prone areas are made of bamboo?
Houses made from bamboo are very good at resisting earthquakes due to its lightweight and favorable elastic properties. Bamboo possesses excellent strength properties, especially tensile strength and much more flexible than hard wood and concrete materials.
What building material best with stands an earthquake?
cubed
Which structure is likely to experience the least amount of damage during an earthquake?
a house built on a solid rock ledge a houseboat anchored to the shore a flexible wood-frame house a home built on soft, flexible sand
Which building material does not generally withstand shaking from earthquakes?
Brick is a building material that does not generally withstand shaking from earthquakes well. Its rigid structure can cause it to crack or crumble under the stress of seismic activity.
What is a good building material for houses near earthquake areas?
Reinforced concrete is a good choice for building houses in earthquake-prone areas because of its strength and durability. It can withstand the lateral forces generated during an earthquake better than materials like wood or brick. Additionally, using steel reinforcement in the concrete can improve the structure's ability to flex and absorb seismic energy.
What building materials can cause less damage in an earthquake?
Wood and paper but with proper design almost any building material can be used.
What is the most important limitation of working with some stone as a building material?
It's lack of tensile strength, a.k.a, the capacity of a material to withstand bending
Why is bamboo a good building material?
Bamboo is an excellent building material due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it both sturdy and lightweight. It grows rapidly, making it a sustainable and renewable resource. Additionally, bamboo is flexible, allowing it to withstand earthquakes and strong winds, and it has natural resistance to pests and moisture. Its aesthetic appeal and versatility further enhance its popularity in construction.
What is the best diagram for an earthquake-resistance structure out of wood?
Countries, cities and states such as Japan or the coast-side of California develop certain types of buildings, that have underground springs under the structure. Then the construction workers put a flexible type of material as poles in the edges of the building, that gives the structure the ability to bounce and sway. So when there is an earthquake the building or structure would bounce and sway with the earthquake so it doesn’t get destroyed. Neat, huh? Well here is your answer.
Is the Nike Free 3.0 flexible enough to be a "barefoot" running shoes?
Yes, the nike free 3.0 is flexible enough where you will have the protection of a shoe but feel like you are barfoot. The material is very durable to withstand any surface you run on.
Why did so few people die in the recent 1989 san fransisco quake?
California now has a good building code. It is more expensive to make a house or a building so it will not fall down in an earthquake but it is possible. Concrete is not a strong material. Adding rebar to concrete makes it much stronger. In earthquake zones much more than the average amount of rebar must be added. The roof must be attached to the building rather than just placed on top. That makes the building a solid unit. Thus, unlike Haiti, the buildings in California are built to withstand an earthquake. If the building does not fall down on a person, the person will not be killed by a falling building! If the infrastructure is not harmed, it will not be followed by a cholera epidemic.
