Property - special: traces Turkey and Syria earthquake<\/a><\/span> The devastating earthquake that killed more than 30,000 people in the two countries, paying attention to modern construction techniques that can withstand earthquakes and avoid future disasters, similar to the techniques used by Japan and other countries when constructing their buildings, and thousands of houses and buildings in Turkey and Syria turned into rubble, after the devastating earthquake that measured 7.9 degrees on the Richter scale and aftershocks, as it is the most severe earthquake in decades.<\/p>\n

Base isolation technology<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Modern construction techniques help to resist earthquakes and minimize their risks. These techniques began to be used in Japan in the 1980s. During the 1995 Hanshin earthquake that struck Japan, about 6,000 people were killed in and around the coastal industrial city, but not a single building in the city was affected by the violent earthquake.<\/p>\n

The owner of this building, a Japanese engineering construction company, made its foundations out of special rubber, in a then-experimental version of a construction technique called \u201cbase isolation technology.\u201d.<\/p>\n

The technology is used in some 9,000 buildings in Japan, up from just 20 at the time of the Hanshin earthquake, while thousands more have been fitted with shock absorbers, which can significantly reduce damage and prevent collapse, according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n

Insulated foundations<\/h4>\n

Traditional buildings shake with the ground during an earthquake, which means they may suffer structural damage, but they are designed to remain standing and not collapse, and the stronger the earthquake, the more the building will move in response.<\/p>\n

According to this technique, if a building shakes too much, beams, columns, walls and arches may be damaged, which may eventually lead to the need to repair or rebuild the building, but human losses during an earthquake cannot be minimized or even prevented.<\/p>\n

Famous buildings around the world built in this way include the Utah State Capitol, which was designed to withstand up to a 7.3-magnitude earthquake.<\/p>\n

Swing Block Technology<\/span> <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Some earthquake-resistant buildings also use a heavy swinging mass technology (usually made of steel) that acts as a central pendulum designed to swing against the earthquake-induced bending of the buildings to offset the effect of the earthquake.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the mass is designed with a fluid that moves in a pendulum-like fashion (tilted in the opposite direction of the bend) to reverse the effect caused by the earthquake. Buildings constructed using this technique include the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan, as well as the Burj Khalifa in the UAE.<\/p>\n

Criteria <\/strong>Earthquake-resistant construction<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Earthquake-resistant construction needs several criteria, including a flexible foundation so that the building is able to withstand a strong tremor, as it tilts without collapsing, and the building can be built on \u201cstabilizing pillars\u201d separated from the floor, and when an earthquake occurs, only the \u201cpillars\u201d move, while the building remains standing.<\/p>\n

===\u00a0 ===<\/p>\n

Damping systems and mufflers absorb earthquake tremors<\/span> <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Earthquake-resistant construction requires damping systems, known as \u201dsprings,\u201d which are installed at roof level to stabilize the building in the event of shaking, and have a large weight. These devices apply an opposite force to the seismic movement, especially in towers and very tall buildings.<\/p>\n

In order for a building to resist earthquakes, it must have water infiltration and disposal systems, which may occur in the event of a disaster and increase the size of the destruction.<\/p>\n

The structure needs to be reinforced in order to distribute the lateral forces in the space, so that they go towards the foundation, where the goal is to direct the earthquake-induced force in the building towards vertical earthquake-resistant parts.<\/p>\n

Softer materials are also preferred, as materials with greater ductility can absorb a great deal of energy without being destroyed, and experts say that the material known as \u201dconstruction steel\u201d is among the most ductile.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
