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.
What is shell keep?
This was the design after The Square Keep. The Shell Keep was made out of stone and was circular. These were basically a fortified version of the Motte and Bailey. The Shell Keep was made up of a fortified gatehouse, a stone wall 8-10 feet thick and 20-25 feet high, that had battlements, a wall walk, and a number of buildings where built up against the wall.
What is a seismic safe building?
No building is seismic safe. No building is earthquake proof. However, there are steps that can be taken to make buildings more earthquake resistant. Concrete buildings made without rebar will collapse in an earthquake. Concrete buildings and concrete block buildings in Guatemala that hold up in earthquakes are those that use a lot of rebar. It is also important to use metal straps to tie the roof to the walls. The straps are inexpensive, but they maintain the integrity of the building. The roof should have cross pieces.
How do tectonic plates cause earthquakes to happen?
the shut up
What is the term for stored-up energy released by earthquakes?
Seismic
What projects are civil engineers doing to keep us safe from earthquakes?
Building buildings with stronger structures, but also with flexibility, so that they will hold up in earthquakes. Because earthquakes don't kill people, buildings do.
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.
How do MEDCs prepare for earthquakes?
They build stronger buildings than LEDCs. They give buildings shock absorbers. They give hospitals bakc-up generators. However, they can still be damged very badly by earthquakes.
Why the stronger the earthquake the greater the loss of life?
cause earthquakes happen a few seconds up to minutes and the aftermath or aftershocks could collapsed buildings destroy homes create tsunamis or volcanoes cause of the impact of earthquakes
What structure was invened by the Greeks to hold up its temples and other buildings?
The structure of columns with cross beams was copied from the Egyptians.
Why haven't new york city buildings been built to withstand earthquakes?
The buildings in New York City have no real reason to be built sturdy enough to survive earthquakes. New York is not in any real danger of earthquakes. This is because New York is in the middle of a tectonic plate. Tectonic plates make up the earth's surface, and the action of these plates rubbing against each other or colliding with each other is what causes earthquakes. A place like San Francisco, on the other hand, is on the edge of a plate, so this is the reason buildings in that area are built stronger.
Why do a earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are, basically, caused by the sudden release of pressure that has built up in the under-laying rock strata. This sudden release sends shock ways radiating out from the epicentre, that shakes buildings and can cause much damage and loss of life.
What are good and bad things about earthquakes?
Most people may only recognize earthquakes as bad things since they can cause harm to people and damage buildings. Earthquakes are physical events that tell us that the Earth is still forming and reforming itself. As the great tectonic plates move and push against each other, they build up the mountain ranges around the world.
Why did the Greeks use different styles of columns?
they use them to help improve there buildings and to hold them up and help hem look Fancy xx
How did the Greeks counteract the fact that the columns of their buildings did not appear to have uniform width from top to bottom?
They did that through entasis, creating an optical illusion. Normally the columns would seem to become narrower higher up when you were looking up at them. Entasis, a little bulging out in the middle of the column segments made the column appear straight and of uniform width.
Why did the Greeks make up myths?
Greeks make up myth to show why stuff are like what they are
Which damaging forces are associated with earthquakes?
Earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines. This movement builds up stress until it is released in the form of seismic waves that shake the ground. The resulting shaking can cause buildings and infrastructure to collapse, leading to widespread destruction and loss of life.
