| Division: | Sciences de la santé | | Catégorie: | Junior | | Région: | Annapolis Valley | | Ville: | Wolfville, NS | | École: | Wolfville School | | Sommaire: | Models of earthquake resistant buildings constructed of unattached wooden blocks were stabilized using several structural modifications: overlapping blocks, building height, buttresses, base isolators (marbles in a box), roofs and cross braces. Experiments were conducted on a homemade earthquake machine. Buildings of overlapped blocks on a base isolator were most stable. |
