3 IMPORTANT RULES REINFORCED CONCRETE EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS

Hurricane Beryl has left a trail of devastation in Texas, with thousands of residents experiencing prolonged power outages. Among the most significant concerns is the impact on local infrastructure due to the heavy rainfall. 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 🚿 A critical example is the Lake Livingston Dam, which supplies water to 3 million residents in the Greater Houston area. This dam, the only one on the Trinity River’s main stem, is Texas’ largest single-purpose reservoir, spanning 2.5 miles and covering 83,000 acres. 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘀 🛠️ The Trinity River Authority (TRA) has placed the dam under a "potential failure watch" following an unsatisfactory assessment by the US Army Corps of Engineers in May, which noted "significant deformation" in parts of the dam. However, the TRA has assured that there is "no immediate danger of failure or a breach," and repairs are well underway to ensure the dam's integrity.

Can your building survive earthquakes and tornados? Chances are: 🌪️ A tornado would rip through your roof with ease 🏚️ An earthquake would turn your walls into rubble 🔥 A wildfire would leave nothing but cinders 💨 And straight-line winds would shred your property UNLESS… You have a concrete dome. Domes can withstand all of this with minimal damage, and they cost about the same to build as conventional structures. Read our blog article to learn what makes our domes so strong: https://lnkd.in/ghTUMJaa #ConcreteDomes #ExtremeWeather #KingDomeBuilders

It was a pleasure to present to the South Florida Claims Association on "Recognizing Wind Damage: Where and What to Look for?"! My lifelong passion has always been teaching, and it was simply natural to transfer my expertise in Wind, Forensic and Structural Engineering to over 150 participants from the insurance and claims industries today!

HDPE pipes are your best friends when it comes to earthquake resilience. 🌊🌪️ Wondering why? 🤔 Because they can flex and move with the earth, avoiding cracks and breaks that can lead to costly repairs and unsafe conditions. Whether it's a small tremor or a major quake, HDPE pipes stand strong, 💪making sure that water and gas lines remain intact and functional when you need them most. #funfactfriday #HDPE #earthquake #advancedpiping

#soilnail walls in a mix of rock and soil can be challenging. Line drill, have a great blast plan, and trim carefully to minimize impacts. #SubsurfaceConstruction

Guard against earthquakes with waterproofing! 🌍🏢 Earthquake resistance is a vital element of our buildings. 🔍 One of the most critical measures to be taken against earthquakes is waterproofing, which is essential for a solid structure. Waterproofing ensures that buildings remain durable during and after earthquakes. 💧 Protect your buildings with waterproofing, keep your loved ones safe! Waterproofing not only protects buildings, but also life. Let's take precautions against earthquakes and be prepared! #ODEInsulation #TechnicalInsulation #ConstructionInsulation #Insulation #InsulationTechnologies #InsulationSolutions #SustainableInsulation #WaterInsulation #EarthquakeSafety #EarthquakeProtection
