Q&A: What has been done to the design of buildings to reduce damage and injury to earthquake prone areas?
Question by CJ: What has been done to the design of buildings to reduce damage and injury to earthquake prone areas?
Many people live in earthquake areas. What has been done to the design of buildings to minimize damage and injury. Any answers would be appreciated . Thanks

Answer by ovis
One of the simplest adaptations is to build sturdy buildings out of wood, rather than brick or stone. Wooden buildings can naturally flex more to dampen the oscillations associated with an earthquake, whereas a brick structure would be more prone to crumble.
There are high-tech solutions too, employed in, for example, tall buildings in cities. Large masses with some degree of constrained movement can help dampen the motion of an earthquake. Alternatively or additionally, there may be measures taken to construct building that are partially decoupled from the ground (eg, on rollers), so that if an earthquake occurs, only a fraction of its energy is transferred into the building.
On a related note, one of my favourite examples of construction around tectonic or seismic events is the Alyeska Pipeline in Alaska. Where the pipeline crosses the Denali fault, it’s built on rails, so that if there is any fault offset (such as there was in the 2004 Denali Earthquake), the pipeline will slide and escape serious damage.

What your feelings about In Minneapolis bridge collapse?
Question by msmomofmany: What your feelings about In Minneapolis bridge collapse?
In Minneapolis bridge collapses, 60 hurt, 9 died, many more body’s still in there cars in water…. Beside being Sad, I’m Mad!, Why wasn’t this bridge replaced with new safer bridge? Why are schools starting here in USA with no Ac or in bad repair? Why are the communities that haven’t been rebuild in new Orleans? or why wasn’t the dams replaced there before they were hit with hurricane Katrina? Why wasn’t there quicker response for the many that didn’t get out in time? Then I think of the billions of dollars that are sent over sea’s for country’s to rebuild their bridges their roads,their dams & building their schools…

I didn’t name Bush although if the shoe fits….
I donate and do volunteer, as for voting I do vote, Bush still got in to office but because I live in a state that My vote don’t count ( not enought electoral votes) locally I voted for library’s and better road and yes I was taxed more.. you say I’m crying. well I am for family’s That lost love ones and friends..
What Is The Case Against The Federal Government ?
The Army Corps of Engineers is a federal government agency.
They designed, built, and maintained several waterways that run through the area in and around New Orleans (NOLA).
These waterways were not designed, built, or maintained correctly.
The Army Corps of Engineers and the federal government knew that the waterways they designed, built, and maintained, were at high risk of failure when a hurricane came.
Although the federal government had the ability
had the ability to fix the problems, it did not.
These waterways failed during and after Katrina and caused flooding of the New Orleans area (NOLA), including New Orleans, New Orleans East, 9th Ward, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, and Jefferson.

Q&A: Could the Mn I-35W bridge collapse occur due to added stress by 4 lanes being used to take on 8 lanes traffic
Question by felixnovak80: Could the Mn I-35W bridge collapse occur due to added stress by 4 lanes being used to take on 8 lanes traffic
At the time of the Mn I-35W bridge collapse, 4 lanes of the 8 lanes were under repair and closed off to traffic. This imposed a stress factor increased by diverting all bridge traffic formally using 8 lanes to 4 lanes.
Best answer:
Answer by UCANTCME
Yes it could have and I have seen many bridges everywhere that will do the same thing and this has to put alot of extra stress on the remaining lanes that are being used, very good question…

Bay Bridge in an Earthquake
Simulation of the newly opened Bay Bridge in San Francisco in an earthquake. Pretty interesting to see the engineering that allows the bridge to twist and flex.
