Project The system comprises three major components a sand bed‚ a pair of concrete slabs‚ an arrey of springs and shock absorbers. A sand bed seismic absorption system is used to minimize and absorb the seismic waves during an earthquake. The system compromises of a bed of damp sand between two polymer membranes. The membrane consists of polyane‚ a flexible and durable material used mainly in trash bags and onsite construction. The polymer membrane also keeps the sand damp and maintains the moisture

the earth‚ and are a result of an earthquake‚ explosion‚ or a volcano that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy. There are two types of seismic waves‚ Body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel through the interior of the earth. Surface waves travel along the earth’s surface and through water. Seismic wave fields are measured by a seismograph‚ geophone‚ hydrophone or accelerometer. These are used to measure earthquakes. When measuring these earthquakes these seismic waves are broken down
