  1. Objective 10/24/11 Create an earthquake-proof building. Intro What things could help make a building more “earthquake proof”?

  2. Earthquake-Proof Buildings

  3. Earthquake-Proof Buildings • Retrofitting • The process of making older structures more earthquake resistant

  4. Earthquake-Proof Buildings • Mass damper • Active tendon system • Weight placed in roof to counteract movement of building • Weight placed in basement to counteract movement of building

  5. Earthquakes and Buildings

  6. Earthquake-Proof Buildings • Base Isolators • Cross Braces • Built into the foundation of building • Act as shock absorbers • Make building more stable
