Earthquake Earthquake is an unexpected and rapid shaking of Earth mainly due to the breakage and shifting of underneath layers. Earthquake strikes all of a sudden at any time of day or night and quite violently. It does not give you any warning. In case of a populated area‚ the earthquake can cause huge loss in the amount of human life and property damage. Affects of earthquake The earthquake can make the buildings and bridges to fall‚ disrupt electricity‚ gas‚ and phone service. It can even further

By using appropriate Earthquake resistance design we can ultimately reach our goal. India and other parts of the world are prone to frequent earth quakes. It makes a great attention to the scientist & research scholars. It’s not able to control the earthquake but we can make suitable design. Advance technology is to save the structure

Tsunami and Earthquake Sion Hau 7D 31/07/11 An earthquake occurred in Sendai‚ Japan on the 11th of March in 2011; this earthquake also resulted in a tsunami. The earthquake measured at magnitude 8.9-9.0 on the Richter scale‚ the scale is measured in powers of ten (e.g. magnitude 2.0 is ten times more than magnitude 1.0). Japan sits on the Ring of Fire (an area encircling Pacific Ocean that has high volcanic and earthquake activity)

Investigations of past and recent earthquake damage have illustrated that the building structures are vulnerable to severe damage and/or collapse during moderate to strong ground motion. Among the possible structural damages‚ seismic induced pounding has been commonly observed in several earthquakes. A parametric study on buildings pounding response as well as proper seismic hazard mitigation practice for adjacent buildings is carried out. Three categories of recorded earthquake excitation are used for input

This article that I have chosen is a earthquake that happened in China. It was said that this earthquake had the largest measuring magnitude of 5.7. After the earthquake‚ at least 80 were killed and 700 were injured. This earthquake was the heaviest in the rural area in Yiliang country. One of the elementary school collapsed in the earthquake. Authorities are not sure if the children are killed. In 2008‚ there was an earthquake in Yunnan’s neighbouring Sichuan province‚ which killed 80

Three hundred hospitals with 20 beds or more in Tōhoku were damaged by the disaster‚ with 11 being completely destroyed. The earthquake and tsunami created an estimated 24-25 million tons of rubble and debris in Japan. An estimated 230‚000 automobiles and trucks were damaged or destroyed in the disaster.

Hurricanes and earthquakes are two of the most dangerous natural disasters. There aren’t any similarities between hurricane and earthquakes in the way they are caused but they both cause destruction and death resulting from diseases and destruction of buildings. Let’s examine what causes these calamities and how to remain safe when they occur. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters near the equator. They are formed when moist air over the ocean rises upward causing an area of lower air pressure
