What else can I help you with?
How can people control the damage caused by earthquakes?
By constructing buildings and structures that are earthquake resistant.
How do earthquake resistant buildings protect you from earthquake vibrations?
This works on the same phenomenon as the shock absorbers that the cars have. Also, it would be same as a spring.
What did the San Francisco earthquake do?
It caused a huge fire that burned down the wooden (non fire resistant) buildings. The fire caused most of the damage, not the earthquake.
What is the process called that makes older structures more earthquake resistant?
Retrofitting is the process of making older structures more earthquake resistant.
How can a building be earthquake resistant?
Build stronger foundations and use things to protect the bottom of the building, like sandbags etc

How is algebra used in construction?
it is used to help buildings be more earthquake resistant.
How can people control the damage caused by earthquakes?
By constructing buildings and structures that are earthquake resistant.
What are the Benefits of an earthquake?
Sadly the only benefit of a earthquake, is that it brings down the population, and you have to rebuild houses that fall in a better way, earthquake resistant buildings. Poor people get to reconstruct the buildings which are destroyed and if they do it they get money.
Why do you need earthquake resistant building?
Earthquake resistant buildings are necessary to protect people's lives and reduce property damage during seismic events. These buildings are designed to withstand the forces and vibrations caused by earthquakes, preventing collapse and reducing the risk of injury or death. Investing in earthquake resistant buildings is crucial in regions prone to earthquakes to ensure the safety and well-being of occupants.

What is the definition of earthquake resistant?
Earthquake resistant refers to the ability of a structure or building to withstand the shaking and ground movement caused by an earthquake without collapsing or sustaining significant damage. This involves designing and constructing buildings with materials and techniques that can absorb and dissipate seismic energy to minimize the impact of an earthquake.
What are some labs you can do to resemble an earthquake?
I know one lab you can do. You will need blocks and a wobbly table. This lab is kind of mediocre, but it is a good way to learn about earthquake-resistant structures. basically, you build buildings and shake the table. The tall buildings will fall but the low buildings are just slightly harmed.
What has the author D K Paul written?
D. K. Paul has written: 'Technologies for retrofitting of existing buildings and structures to make them earthquake resistant'
Why are earthquake proof buildings only found in some earthquake prone areas?
Earthquake proof buildings are not common worldwide due to the high costs associated with their construction. In areas with frequent earthquakes, like Japan and California, there is more incentive to invest in earthquake resistant technology. Additionally, building codes and regulations in these regions often require construction to meet certain seismic standards.
