In the hours after an earthquake people should not go inside a building even if it appears undamaged because of?
In the hours after an earthquake, individuals should avoid entering buildings that appear undamaged due to the potential for aftershocks, which can further compromise structural integrity. Hidden damage may not be immediately visible, including weakened foundations or walls that could collapse unexpectedly. Additionally, there may be hazards such as broken glass, gas leaks, or fallen debris that pose risks to safety. Prioritizing safety by staying outside allows for a more accurate assessment of the building's stability by professionals.
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.
Is it safer at bottom or top of a building during an earthquake?
Generally, it is safer to be at the bottom of a building during an earthquake because the structure is more stable at ground level. However, this can vary depending on factors like the type of building and the severity of the earthquake. It is important to follow evacuation protocols and guidance from local authorities in such situations.
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
Should laws say that building built near faults must be earthquake proof?
Because it is safer

Why a building shakes?
Because it's cold! Because a large vehicle just went by. Because it is in an earthquake.
If you were going to construct an earthquake resistant building what materials would you use and why?
This would depend on what size, type of building you are going to build. If it was a house I would build a timber one because it would flex 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.

How tall can buildings be to withstand an earthquake?
Its not about the hight of the building its about the shape of the building. The building should be a triangle shape with a wide base and a narrow point; to help with stand a earthquake there is normally a tank of water at the top because if the building starts shaking the water would go in the oposite direction of where the building goes. Also at the bottom there should be large springs to allow the building to sway a little because if it is firm and still presure will build up and the building will collapse
Why is there a short amount of time to evacuate before an earthquake?
there is a short amount of time because people do not know when an earthquake will actually occur. so a building can't crush down on you when you just figure out a earthquake is happening.

How did the distance of the epicenter of Chile's earthquake the local geology and the construction affect of the earthquake?
because the buildings fall and the scientist have to learn how to make better ones so in the future they know what building is better
Why do you think there is often a short amount of time to evacuate an area before an earthquake?
there is a short amount of time because people do not know when an earthquake will actually occur. so a building can't crush down on you when you just figure out a earthquake is happening.Read more: Why_is_there_only_a_short_amount_of_time_to_evacuate_before_an_earthquake
Can a building that has been burned be insured for liability only?
Yes, you can purchase a "monoline" Commercial General Liability policy for a vacant lot if the building has been burned to the ground. If the building is only partially damaged or a significant amount of debris remains at the site, you may have difficulty finding coverage because the undamaged portion of the building may present a hazard insurers would be reluctant to cover.
