This article does a very poor job explaining what its headline claims its going to explain, and even a better article would benefit 1000x from pictures or illustrations.
- Aeolun 4y agoI don’t think it even attempted to explain anything… This is nice: https://youtu.be/7eO23oeXJlw https://youtu.be/7eO23oeXJlw
- LegitShady 4y agoThere are other ways engineers deal with the lateral forces from earthquakes - base isolation (as mentioned in your video), dampeners (as shown in your video), shear walls, braces, and engineered moment frame connections that stiffen the whole structure. shear walls, braces, and moment frame connections are a lot more common than base isolation and dampeners, especially for smaller buildings.
