A simple and good experiment to understand the relationship between the building high and earthquake waves’ frequencies, as well as how change mode shapes of the buildings during the shaking.

In continuation to my earlier one, this is further giving the actual visual. Excellent demonstration.

A five-star review for our free teaching resource on #Earth science! #Earthquakes occur often, and they can wreak havoc on infrastructure such as buildings and roads. Of course, earthquakes are a natural occurrence, but how can city planners and construction companies prepare for them and minimise their impact? Professor Alex Copley, from the University of Cambridge in the UK, thinks a deep understanding of earthquakes, both past and present, is key. https://lnkd.in/eyx8pxA7

Following on from our post yesterday on the biaxial table – here is a short clip by Professor Adrian Russell of our biaxial table in action! In this video we are testing a dry-stone retaining wall, under combined horizontal (0.72 g) and vertical (0.48 g) motion during an earthquake.

⚛️🚀 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

Loss of life during earthquakes typically occurs in older structures that do not adhere to modern seismic guidelines. Addressing this issue poses a significant challenge for our societies and civil engineers. It is our responsibility to tackle this problem proactively by identifying and mitigating the threat before an earthquake occurs. In this context, I am delighted to present our recently published research in the Journal of Research on Engineering Structures and Materials. I extend sincere appreciation to Dr. Enio D. and express gratitude to the reviewers, editorial team for their valuable insights that have contributed to enhancing the paper's quality.

It stands at 508 m tall and held the title of world's tallest building from 2004 to 2010. One of the most impressive features of Taipei 101 is its innovative engineering that allows it to withstand earthquakes and typhoons. The building was designed to withstand earthquakes with a magnitude of up to 7.0 on the Richter scale, which is higher than the maximum expected earthquake intensity in the Taipei area. The building's innovative design includes a mass damper, which is a giant pendulum that helps counterbalance the sway caused by strong winds and earthquakes. The mass damper is the largest of its kind in the world, weighing in at 660 metric tons. It's located on the 92nd floor and can move up to 2 meters in any direction to counteract the building's movement caused by winds and earthquakes. There are many ways to make a building earthquake-resistant: we can choose one technology or another or more than one but what matters is actually doing it… and save lives! #engineering #structuralengineering #engineer #earthquake For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔
