What is the difference between a brick house and a brick veneer house?
A brick house has walls made entirely of bricks. the outside walls are usually double brick wit an 1 1/2 inch cavity between them these walls are connected for strength with brick ties and the internal walls are are single brick.Brick veneer houses have a single brick skin around the outside with a similar cavity tied to a timber or steel frame the internal walls are also timber or steel and are finished with plasterboard sheets.
Effects of earthquake on building frame?
Buildings are designed to resist loads in specific orientations. The largest load a building will normally experience and be designed to resist is it's own self weight. This will normally act vertically downwards through the building. Seismic waves introduce a significant non vertical component to this loading (whether that be shaking side to side as a result of Love Waves or the rolling motion caused by Rayligh waves) which creates torsional (twisting), shearing and bending stresses that the building would never normally experience. This can exceed the strength of the structure and cause portions of it to fail or even collapse.
How is a solid different from a frame?
In a frame the structure is not continuous throughout the panels of the building, but is in connected lines of structure that form a frame. For example in timber framed buildings: the timber is a structural frame that does not completely fill in the walls, roof and floor. These are clad over and lined within the framing to form panels. The framing bears the structural loads. In concrete or brick masonry construction: the walls are formed by the masonry units being put together to form solid walls. This means the loads of the building are distributed throughout the entire wall.
How do you reduce the effect of earthquake?
I have survived the 1999 Turkish earthquake killing approximately 50,000. As far as I know, there is no way to reduce an earthquake but if you meant "reduce the damage an earthquake causes" then there are ways for that. You must know if you are located on or around a fault-line where two tectonic plates meet. These plates move the opposite directions and cause an elastic tension effect, when they come to a point where the tension is so high they snap and cause shaking which is the quake. When developing a city or a community, on or around a fault line make sure the building is good and safe with the standards for earthquake, make everyone aware that a possibility of an earthquake is there and make emergency plans. I never saw the Turkish earthquake coming, it hit everyone by surprise so buildings changed, people became more aware of earthquake safety after the quake but we could have avoided the 50,000 dead.
Where is the frame on a 2000 Camry?
there is no steal frame- its called a sub frame its not like the old cars or trucks
How can a brick or frame building be modified to help it withstand an earthquake?
Reinforce or strengthen the walls. Plywood panels can strengthen the walls. Metal connectors can strengthen the house's frame.

Why was there so much damage to the Kobe earthquake?
Because they built wooden frame houses to withstand the earthquake, funnily enough, fire often comes with earthquakes.....
Does brick mean joisted masonry?
a home that has brick is still considered a frame building. since the construction method used has wooden frames, with a brick veneer finish on the outisde, it is ultimately considered a frame building.
What materials might withstand an earthquake?
Stones for support, hollow cement bricks, reinforced steel frame
What is the standard thickness of an exterior brick wall including brick and wood frame on a residential home?
150 thick
Why is the term brick building improper?
It isn't improper if it is a brick building. But a wood building with a brick veneer is not a brick building. Many people speak of a house as being a brick house, but it is probably a frame house with brick veneer. Perhaps that is what the question is about.
Is the door frame safest place during earthquake?
yes
How do you put a brick into another brick on Roblox?
you can't @ guy who answered above Actually you can by using a tool called C-frame
Which house would be more stable during a earthquake a brick or single story would frame house?
A timber building is more likely to be safe in an earthquake than a brick building, but this is not guaranteed, because it will depend on the structural design and the fixings used. This is because: * Timber has a natural elasticity (it will bend somewhat without breaking) * Timber is lighter than brick and because Force= mass.acceleration, a lighter building does not need to resist as much force as a heavy building in an earthquake. The acceleration loads experienced by a building in an earthquake can be as strong as or stronger than gravity (9.8ms-2), and act in many directions and change rapidly. If you picture a building tossed onto its side, this would represent a similar size force to one of the many that are applied to a building in a large earthquake. For a brick building to be safe in an earthquake, the bricks need to be tied back to an elastic structure (usually timber or steel) that will withstand the earthquake and be capable of carrying the load of the bricks and their accelerating mass during the quake. The inelasticity of the mortar beween the bricks also means that the bricks are likely to separate and fall which makes them unsafe to be near in an earthquake. For these reasons brick is only used as a veneer over structural framing, not as structure, in New Zealand, which is on an earthquke prone fault line on the Pacific Rim.
