Question 14 What happens if the frequency of the seismic waves is the same as the frequency of a building structure? -> If the building is short, only 1-2 stories, it won\'t collapse it he building is tall,like a bell tower, it won\'t collapse Othe building will ollaiase the building moves like the ground and is undamaged Moving to another question will save this response.

Solution

All buildings have a natural, period, or resonance, which is the number of seconds it takes for the building to naturally vibrate back and forth. The ground also has a specific resonant frequency. Hard bedrock has higher frequencies softer sediments. If the period of ground motion matches the natural resonance of a building, it will undergo the largest oscillations possible and suffer the greatest damage.

Hence the correct answer is. The building will colapse.
