Try using lots of triangles and pyramids, because they are a lot sturdier and stronger than squares and pentagons and hexagons etc. But if you HAVE to use squares, then reinforce the corners by building triangles into them.
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.
flexible, circular moorings
So as to avoid them. So as to make building regulations requiring buildings to be earthquake proof. So as to know where emergency resources ma need to be deployed.
Tokyo is a city in Japan known for having strict building codes that focus on earthquake resistance. Along with seismic-resistant designs and technologies, these regulations have helped make buildings in Tokyo more resilient to earthquakes.
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.
-- eat 3 marshmallows -- give away the toothpicks -- the remaining marshmallow is a 3-d figure all by itself
Well you could make the structure by taking the marshmallow and shaping it into triangles and then connect it together so it looks like a bridge and then if that does not work then try building squares and then putting triangles in the middle and then getting some toothpicks to connect it. Questions Is there a limited amount of marshmallows or toothpicks you are supposed to use? Is the structure supposed to hold something? Like a text book, a book, or ect.
break the toothpicks and you've doubled your amount of toothpicks
To solve this, you simply have to put the toothpicks in the shape of a 1 and a 0 to make "10"
You make the number "10" with the 9 toothpicks or spell out "ten" with the 9 toothpicks.
You can make 5 triangles out of 9 toothpicks. With 6 toothpicks, make a large triangle with 2 toothpicks for each side. Now, take individual toothpicks, and make a smaller triangle inside the larger one by joining the midpoints of the sides of the previous triangle. (The vertices of the smaller triangle are the midpoints of the sides of the larger one).
2 rectangles. Put two toothpicks on 2 sides and one on the other side, and that uses 6 toothpicks and if you make another rectangle like that you make 2 rectangles.
Arrange the 9 toothpicks thus: 7 + 3
by tearing it
Here are three ideas. #1 you could take toothpicks and marsh mellows and stick them together. #2 you could make blue jello for water (in river etc) put Swedish fish in the jello like fish and take 4 pretzel sticks and stick 'em in then tie stringy licorice to the ends then take toothpicks and stick them in between the licorice to make the deck. #3 you can take two apple slices and stick toothpicks with marshmallows into the insides of the apples. Hope that helped.
You make 3-D! Look... 6 squares in one cube and you can do that with toothpicks too!
Make a two by two grid with six toothpicks, and then place the other two toothpicks at a 45 degree angle on the corner of two of the squares.
