What can engineers do to help to pevent structures from collapsing during earthquakes?
For small structures the most effective measure is to cross brace EVERY corner. For larger structures - use steel reinforcing, appropriate foundations, separate buildings to allow for sway and it install dampers.
What is the uppermost part of pharynx?
Cartilage rings prevent it from collapsing
Give reason rings of cartilage are present in the throat?
The cartilage rings in the throat prevent the trachea from collapsing.
How does a seismograph prevent the effect of a an earthquake?
A seismograph itself cannot prevent the effect of an earthquake. It is an instrument that measures and records seismic waves generated by an earthquake. The data collected by seismographs helps scientists study and understand earthquakes, which in turn can contribute to improved building codes and earthquake-resistant infrastructure. Preventing the effect of an earthquake requires engineering solutions such as designing structures to withstand seismic forces or implementing early warning systems.
What did the government do to prevent another earthquake from happening in Chile?
It is possible to prepare for earthquakes, for example by building stronger buildings that won't collapse as easily in the event of an earthquake, but we do not have any means of preventing earthquakes. It is not impossible in principle to prevent earthquakes; this would require cooling the Earth's mantle so that the liquid rock would solidify. However this is beyond the capability of our current technology.

What can forces do to structures?
Forces can cause structures to deform, bend, or break depending on the magnitude and direction of the force applied. To prevent structural failure, engineers design buildings and bridges with materials and shapes that can withstand the expected forces, such as wind, earthquakes, and gravity loads. Regular maintenance and inspections help ensure that structures remain safe and stable over time.
What are prevention of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that we have no control over, so can not prevent an earthquake. All we can do is to monitor the stresses in areas prone to earthquakes, so as to give as much early warning as possible. Building earthquake resistant buildings will help to lessen the collapsing of building onto people inside or nearby.
What is cross bracings used for?
Cross bracings are used in construction to provide stability and strength to structures, especially in buildings and bridges. They help prevent swaying, twisting, or collapsing by distributing forces evenly throughout the structure, reducing the risk of structural failure during events such as earthquakes or high winds.
Do mountains prevent earthquake shocks?
Mountains do not prevent earthquakes, in fact mountains were created by the occurrence of earthquakes.
What is a coal mine pit prop called?
A coal mine pit prop is typically called a "roof support" or a "rib support." These are structures or materials used to prevent the roof or walls of the mine from collapsing.
What keeps the trachea from collasping?
The trachea has a series of cartilage rings that prevent it from collapsing.
Why does the trachea have little cartilages?
so that these cartilagenous rings prevent collapsing of trachea
What prevents stonger earthquakes?
Technically, there is little you can do to prevent an earthquake. AN earthquake is absolutely harmless if you are not directly on the edge of a fault, it is man-made structures and natural occurrences like avalanches that make earthquakes dangerous. The solution to this is to simply stay away from tall structures or unsound physical features of the earth (like mountains or old forests.)
Explain how engineers prevents the expansion of solids from damaging structures?
Engineers prevent the expansion of solids from damaging structures by incorporating expansion joints into the design. These joints allow materials to expand and contract without causing stress or damage to the structure. Proper materials selection and planning for thermal expansion also play a crucial role in preventing damage.
What is the function of surfactant?
prevent each alveolus from collapsing as air moves in and out during respiration
What prevent the trachea from collapsing?
Cartilaginous rings
