Impressive full scale earthquake resistance test comparing the performance of a regular wooden house and a reinforced wooden house. Large shaking table tests are fundamental research elements for structural engineering, facilitating research, innovation, and technological progress. These tests are made on full scale models of buildings and infrastructure to simulate seismic forces to assess structural behavior, validating design methods, enhancing earthquake resilience, using control systems for different earthquake scenarios. The knowledge transfer resulting from these tests are very helpful for the enhancement of earthquake-resistant construction methods and retrofit strategies for existing structures. #engineering #innovation #research #technology #resilience #civilengineering 🎥 by NEESIT

📣 Simulation of Building Collapse Using Dynamic Loading 🔹 The events of recent years remind us of the importance of earthquake-proof construction in endangered regions. 🔹 For you as an engineer, the design of structures in the earthquake prone areas is a constant trade-off between economic efficiency – the financial possibilities – and structural safety. 🔹 If a collapse is ineavitable, you estimate how it will affect the structure. This article aims to provide you with an option on how to perform this estimation. 💡 ℹ Discover More: https://bit.ly/3Ed0w7m #DynamicAnalysis #Earthquake #Seismicity #VibrationDesign #NaturalFrequencyAnalysis #Dlubal #DlubalSoftware #RFEM #RSTAB

I am glad to share our most recent paper published in the Journal of Earthquake Engineering on the influence of the axial stiffness and other design parameters of fluid viscous dampers on the floor acceleration response of steel moment-resisting frames.

"Simulation of Tectonic Plates’ Movements and Fault Activity During Earthquakes" This simulation has the capability to model the movements of Earth's tectonic plates and depict the resulting earthquake activity. By considering plate motions, it provides insights into seismic events with precision. #civilengineering #infrastructure #construction #urbandevelopment #structuralengineering #engineeringlife #builtenvironment #concrete #constructionmanagement #architecturaldesign #greenbuilding #transportationengineering #waterresources #GeotechnicalEngineering #Sustainability #ProjectManagement #CivilWorks #BridgeEngineering #RoadConstruction #EnvironmentalEngineering #StructuralEngineering #CivilEngineering #EngineeringLife #Construction #Architecture #BuildingDesign #SteelStructures #ConcreteDesign #StructuralAnalysis #ConstructionEngineering #BridgeEngineering #SeismicDesign #BuildingMaterials #StructuralIntegrity #EngineeringDesign #StructuralSafety #BuildingConstruction #Infrastructure #ArchitecturalEngineering #FoundationDesign #TectonicPlates #EarthquakeSimulation #GeologicalModeling #SeismicActivity #PlateTectonics #FaultDynamics #EarthScience #Geophysics #NaturalDisasters #DisasterPreparedness #StructuralEngineering #EarthquakeEngineering #GeotechnicalEngineering #CivilEngineering #SeismicEngineering #GeologicalHazards #EngineeringSimulation #EarthquakeRisk #InfrastructureSafety #DisasterMitigation

I have been utilising a book for a while named “Basic Earthquake Engineering” written and by Prof. Dr. Haluk Sucuoğlu and Prof. Dr. Sinan Akkar to refresh my knowledge about earthquake engineering. I wanted to share it because I thought that my recommendation may inspire younger or less experienced engineers to explore new topics and continue their professional development. Book itself includes chapters related to areas from seismology to analysis and design. Especially chapter 7 Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures gives very important hints for required details in design to mitigate the adverse effects of earthquake over buildings. Hope anyone who engaged that book will find out some useful informations to be used in building design comply with related engineering codes. #earthquakeengineering

🚀⚛️ Cool educational and impressive lead rubber bearing experiencing large deformations under cyclic loading test for earthquake engineering research. Lead rubber bearings are seismic isolation devices to protect structures from earthquake damage. During an earthquake, the bearings absorb and dissipate seismic energy, decoupling the structure from ground motion, reducing the forces and accelerations transferred to the building, reducing damage, increasing safety for people. They are used in critical infrastructure like hospitals, bridges, and tall buildings, enhancing seismic resilience in earthquake-prone regions. As every structural system, they require maintenance to ensure effectiveness during seismic events. #civilengineering #engineering #earthquake #education #criticalinfrastructure 🎥 by NEESIT and Caltrans

🏢✨ Just wrapped up an engaging session at the Engineers Australia Event, where we dived deep into the world of earthquake-resistant structural design in Australia. 🏗️ We explored: Recent Updates to Earthquake Code: Staying up to date with the latest seismic standards and how they impact the design and construction of our structures. Relevance and Development of Australian Earthquake Codes: Understanding the significance and the ongoing work behind Australian earthquake codes. Approaches to Designing to Australian Earthquake Codes: The strategies and methodologies that engineers employ to create resilient and safe structures. Recent Seismic Events in Australia: A reflection on recent events that underscore the real-world relevance of these codes. 🌏 It's crucial for our community to be well-informed and prepared for seismic challenges. These discussions pave the way for safer, more resilient infrastructure. 🙌 Kudos to Engineers Australia for hosting this enlightening event, and thanks to all the speakers for sharing their insights. Let's continue to build a safer, more earthquake-resistant Australia! 🇦🇺 #Engineering #EarthquakeResilience #StructuralDesign

What does this test show us? I don't know about earthquake-proofing buildings, but I do know about pressure pipes, which are "more earthquake-proof". What edquake loading means is clearly seen in utility lines, which rigid, brittle pipe systems fail and PE pressure pipes have the natural advantage of being able to yield. I know many earthquake countries that very conservatively prefer "conventional" pipe systems and accept failure as "God-given." One such potential customer once told me that his experience was that although his pipe systems fail and PE pressure pipes do not, with PE he has the problem that there is then a permanent elongation of the pipe system! The fact that tight PE pipes can be checked in sections without time pressure in the case of visible earth gaps and possibly then renewed locally for safety's sake is an advantage and not a disadvantage for me. More than 50 years of PE pressure pipes: https://lnkd.in/ewnpAF3F #earthquake
