What are mimetic buildings?
Mimetic buildings are buildings that are structures, they are supposed to grab your attention for a specific reason. These structures are called mimetic because they mimic other objects.
Who is the person who designed buildings?
An architect is a person who designs buildings and other structures.
What does architecture mean?
Something of, about or related to architecture.
Which scale would be used to tell how much an earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
They could use the information from the seismic wave scale
How can a building be earthquake resistant?
Build stronger foundations and use things to protect the bottom of the building, like sandbags etc
What improvements have been made to buildings and other structures to make them more seismic safe?
Numerous things have been done to make buildings more structurally sound including the addition of wheels under the foundation to allow movement of the building
What is the construction of buildings roads bridges dams and other structures is called?
Infrastructure
What are seismic dampers and why are they important?
Seismic dampers are devices used in building construction to protect the buildings against earthquake and other seismic events.
What are mimetic buildings?
Mimetic buildings are buildings that are structures, they are supposed to grab your attention for a specific reason. These structures are called mimetic because they mimic other objects.
What is seismic damper?
A seismic damper is a device used in structural engineering to reduce the effects of seismic activity on buildings and other structures. It absorbs and dissipates the energy generated by an earthquake, thus helping to protect the structure from damage. Seismic dampers can come in various forms, such as fluid viscous dampers or friction dampers.
What do P waves do to buildings?
P waves (primary waves) are the first waves generated by an earthquake and travel faster than other seismic waves. These waves push and pull on structures in a back-and-forth motion, causing buildings to move horizontally. While they may not cause as much damage as other seismic waves, such as S waves or surface waves, P waves can still contribute to structural damage and shaking of buildings during an earthquake.
What type of seismic wave can make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Surface waves can cause the ground to roll like ocean waves. Surface waves are a type of seismic wave that travel along the Earth's surface and have a more pronounced effect on buildings and structures compared to other types of seismic waves.
Who is the person who designed buildings?
An architect is a person who designs buildings and other structures.
How does weathering affect buildings and other structures?
Abrasion affects the monument
Do earthquakes can damage buildings roads dams and many other structures?
Depending up on the intensity of an earthquake buildings, roads, dams and many other structures get damaged. Keeping in view the safety of buildings and dams from earthquakes special designs are being developed.
Which igneous rock is commonly used in buildings and other structures?
how should i know
Why did some of the buildings survive the Kobe earthquake and some did'NT?
Buildings that were retrofitted to withstand earthquakes or those built with seismic design features were more likely to survive the Kobe earthquake. On the other hand, older buildings or structures that were poorly constructed were more susceptible to damage or collapse. Additionally, the soil composition and proximity to the fault line also played a role in determining which buildings survived and which did not.
