What types of damage can be caused by an earthquake?PROBLEM:
PREDICTION:
PROCEDURE:
Use the following intensities on the Shaker
Boards:
A. slow-long board (low intensity)
B. quick-long board (high intensity)
C. slow-side board (low intensity)
D. quick-side board (high intensity)
Build a structure that you feel can withstand an earthquake. Test the different intensities described above. Test A, B, C, and then D. If the structure falls down during one intensity rebuild it the same way and test the other intensities. Redesign structure and retest only those intensities in which the original design failed.
