What will happen to a base-isolated building when seismic waves strike the building during an earthquake?
During an earthquake, a base-isolated building will experience reduced lateral movement and lower accelerations compared to buildings with conventional foundations. The seismic waves will be absorbed, dispersed, and redirected by the isolators, helping to protect the building and its contents from structural damage.
What do earthquake shock absorbers do?
Earthquake shock absorbers do exactly what they say on the tin, they absorb some of the energy generated by an earthquake, in order to prevent structural damage. Most tall building in San Francisco are built on the shock absorbers, so that they can still stand after an earthquake
If an L shaped building is affected by an earthquake which limb of the building will be more affected and why?
The top of the building will be more affected. Because theres nothing to support it up top, all it depends on to stand up is the ground, but during an earthquake, the ground is shaking uncontrollably. You'd see it on mythbusters
What factors contributed to the extent of damage caused by this earthquake?
Assuming you're talking about the March 2011 Japanese earthquake, the main factor that caused the majority of damage was the 30-foot tsunami wave that rushed the coastline of the Miyagi Prefecture. Note that damage inland was minimal, since Japan has strict building codes to prevent severe damage to large buildings. But coastal cities didn't stand a chance - the water flattened everything in it's path until it ran out of energy and receeded.
Why do you stand in the door way during an earthquake?
Some people stand under door ways because it one of the sturdiest places in your dwelling, but recently i have found many reasons why they're not the safest place where you can shield yourself from an earthquake. For example, if the house comes down during the earthquake, the door way would also come down with it. Also, if the door way has a door attached to it, the door could swing and hit you with great strength. And if you are in a building with multiple people, standing in the door way would just cause you to be an obstacle in which either you would put the other people in danger or they would push you out of the way and/or trample you. -EG
What is a building that is able to stand up against an earthquake?
most houses in california
A building able to stand up against an earthquake is considered to be?
Seismically resilient. This means it is designed to withstand the effects of an earthquake, such as ground shaking, without significant damage or collapse. The building's structure is engineered to absorb and dissipate the seismic forces, ensuring the safety of occupants and minimizing structural damage.
A building able to stand up against an earhtquake is considered to be a what?
Seismically resilient. This means that the building is designed to withstand the force and shaking of an earthquake, reducing the risk of damage and collapse. Various design features such as flexible structures, dampers, and bracing can contribute to the building's ability to resist seismic forces.
What makes a building earthquake free?
nothing can stand the power of god (earthquake)
Where not to stand during an earthquake?
dONT STAND NEAR AND IN BUILDING, TRY TO GO TO OPEN PLACES..(THEY ARE SAFE)
What do you do if your in a building during an earthquake?
you stand under a doorway or hide under a table
Which type of building would most likely survive an earthquake?
Any that are built in an earthquake area if you don't want them to fall. And any that would not stand on their own in an earthquake.
What happens to a base-isolated building when seismic waves strike the building during an earthquake?
it will not break it will just stand because it is build to be strong.
What will happen to a base-isolated building when seismic waves strike the building during earthquake?
it will not break it will just stand because it is build to be strong.
What are 2 important earthquake methods?
1) stand near a flimsy building 2) try and eat jelly steadally in the epicentre

What is a seismic safe structure List two things that would help a building become seismic safe?
A seismic safe structure is one that can withstand earthquakes without collapsing. Two things that would help a building become seismic safe are a strong foundation designed to absorb and distribute seismic forces and the use of materials that can flex and bend without breaking during an earthquake.
