What Makes These 3 Buildings Earthquake-Proof?
Ғылым және технология
Earthquakes are a problem for the whole world. But some countries have to deal with it more often than others. Ring of Fire is an infamous path along the Pacific Ocean that goes through countless earthquakes each year. When the countries around this area are so prone to earthquakes, the government bodies there has a responsibility to make their buildings as durable as possible. Taking the necessary precautions can be the difference between life and death in situations like the issue is not one that you can take lightly.
In this episode, we are going to take a look at how different countries and different buildings take prosecutions to decrease the effects of these earthquakes. Japan, Utah, and Taiwan are all situated around fault lines and they all deal with the threat in different ways.
Japan took inspiration from traditional architecture to build the tallest structure in the country. Utah fixed pass mistakes to retroactively make a building proof with seismic dampers. And finally, Taiwan specifically designs a building to withstand the biggest earthquakes by taking advantage of flexibility, physics, and a solid foundation.

Even though it is our own country, Japan sometimes does incomprehensible things. For example, many five-story pagodas in the Nara period (1,400yrs ago) was made earthquake-proof using central pillars, and the main hall of Rengeo-in (a.k.a Sanjusangen-do) was made seismically isolated by floating it under the floor in the Heian period (800yrs ago). It is crazy in many ways, LOL PS: In a thousand and several hundred years, there has been not a single reported case of a five-story pagoda collapsing due to an earthquake, even though there have been cases of fire and typhoons that have caused it to collapse.

I appreciate the detailed reporting in this news video.
Thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf
Is that John Goodman who is narrating? Appreciate this video!
I have to do this as a homework thanks alot
Who's here after recent Japan earthquake??
God bless the epicenter is directly the building's foundation, all hope lost
But still thousand of people died in Turkey even there are solutions. How sad it is...

In turkey there is a few you can pay to ignore most construction regulations. let me say it again. turkey has state sponsored legal corruption to ignore buildings laws. That is why turkey was ssuch a disastor
if earthquakes are shallow on land and near the surface, and the surface is not strong, I do not believe that any measures will protect concrete structures from earthquakes. in shallow earthquakes, you can clearly feel the ground moving up and down. it's like someone jumping on top of a car. and in many parts of the world, the most suitable settlements are accumulated land plots .many earthquakes happen far below the ground and in the seas. .this reduces the strength of the earthquake by a huge amount .
Five century ago, Mimar Sinan had earthquake resistant structures that was the best.
There's nothing like earthquake proof structure

Taipei 101 was constructed by Japanese company Kumagai Gumi
There's no materials that could stop the God wraths

2011 was sad. The buildings were impressive but the land on the coast became a victims of subsidence + tsunami. You just can't build sea walls big enough without feeling like you're living in a prison.
I have posted a video in, my channel,similar to this that
There is no earthquakes proof bruh so understand it hasn't happen there
Thank you for doing the japan country. (日本国をやってくれてありがとう。)
As those buildings Man Idolizes haven't experienced Magnitude 10, Assumptive is an unwanted trait!

It would suck if that pendulum came aloose.
There is no building in the world that is earthquake proof. When the 'big one' hits it will destroy everything just like in the movie 2012.

The maximum magnitude of an earthquake that could actually occur is approx. 9, and Seismic intensity scales is 7. Japan's earthquake resistant technology assumes a seismic intensity of 7. of course even worse earthquake occurs in movie though.

The primary goal is to NOT collapse thereby killing people. They want them to stay whole even if damaged to allow people to get out and to safety (or tent cities until they rebuild)
Repent and believe in the Gospel! Regret your sins and repent! Pray that the good Lord God will help you! Only Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord! Only Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life! The good Lord God loves you and wants you to achieve eternal life in unending love...
Those things you called proof stood on the same ground which belongs to the earthquakes
Nobody’s will talk about India’s architecture marvels from 4-5,000 years before? Standing as is withstanding 1000s of earthquakes?
