eer Solution1 Designing earthquake safe buildings and struct

Solution

1) Designing earthquake safe buildings and structures by doing research on that particular area.

2) By using suitable construction materials to reduce the effect of earthquake.

3) The foundation of the structure should be designed in such a way so that it helps in reducing the impact of earthquake. Additional flexible cushions can be used to absord movement and energy during an earthquake allowing the structure to remain intact.

4) Buildings and structures can be created with additional strategically placed beams that help transfer the energy of the sway of the building during a quake to the base of the structure and the surrounding earth. Reinforced beams and trusses can also help prevent warping and collapse of the buildings and structures during and after an earthquake.

5) By providing solid breaks in soil surrounding the foundation such as bedrock greatly reduces the likelihood of large amounts of damage to structures and buildings.

6) Multi-storeyed buildings should be designed with appropriate passageway for ease of movement of the people during an earthquake.

7) Apart from all these, every civil engineer must learn first aid to help people in need.
