What can engineers do to prevent structures from collapsing during earthquakes

Physics

vredina [299]2 years ago

3 0

Explanation:

1. The structures should be made with good quality steel and concrete so that they can bear load and deformation.

2. Buildings should be made laterally strong so that they can overcome dominant lateral forces.

3. In High seismic activity areas devices such as energy absorbers should be used. Base isolation must necessarily be done.

4. Use of hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete to increase the toughness of a structure in a Moment Resisting Frame. Moment resisting frames are frames that resist moment of any devices.

Distance versus Displacement Worksheet

Umnica [9.8K]

when we find the distance we will add all the blocks so

distance = 6+6+4

distance = 14blocks

when we find the displacement we will add and minus too

As you can read he goes to the south 6 and to north 6 so he leave that place and back to the place again so the displacement is 0. and again he goes to the west 4 blocks so the displacement = 4blocks to the west

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

If there was no air resistance

Explanation:

We know that free fall is a unique motion in which gravity only works on one object. Objects that are said to be free-falling do not experience a significant force of air resistance; They come under the sole effect of gravity. Under such conditions, all objects fall under the same acceleration, regardless of their mass.
