By constructing buildings and structures that are earthquake resistant.
Yes. The longer an earthquake continues, the more foundations of structures such as buildings and bridges continues to be shaken and therefore destabilised.
there would be considerable damage in poorly built structures
Rock density Rock structure Type of rock Geographic location How strong the earth quake Type of earthquake
Earthquake damage is the damage to property and life from the ground vibrations during an earthquake. The Richter scale is one way to measure the scale of earthquake damage. For example, a magnitude of 5 is strong enough to damage weak buildings.
Fire damage to a structure weakens the stability of the structure. Structures with fire damage are a concern during an earthquake due to their stability and the high chances of them collapsing.
Surface waves
Brick buildings.
The modified mercalli intensity scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake and is in part derived from the damage done to building and other structures.
By constructing buildings and structures that are earthquake resistant.
A magnitude 8 earthquake can release as much energy as 6 million tns of TNT. It can cause severe damage to structures and can very fatal.
an earthquake can from demolish a whole building to just shake up the earth
People avoid or limit an earthquake's damage by building structures that will not fail in the earthquake or subsequent events and make it safe at the same time.
Yes. The longer an earthquake continues, the more foundations of structures such as buildings and bridges continues to be shaken and therefore destabilised.
They mostly Suffer from Building, Houses, (ect.)
Substrate is defined as a material that provides the surface on which something is deposited. The degree and amount of earthquake damage is partially dependent upon the substrate of the building. If the structure is not structurally sound and built upon earthquake approved foundations, then damage will be greater.
