The Performance of Structures During Earthquakes
| Challenge: | Resources | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Bay Area | | City: | Ancaster, ON | | School: | Ancaster H.S. | | Abstract: | This project examined the qualities that make some brick buildings more earthquake resistant than others. Small-scale models of brick walls were tested with varying amounts of reinforcement and amplitudes of shaking. The results proved that a small amount of reinforcement goes a long way when trying to prevent earthquake damage and that small reinforced brick building walls perform better than taller walls. |
