What can engineers do to prevent structures from collapsing during earthquakes

Physics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

1. The structures should be made with good quality steel and concrete so that they can bear load and deformation.

2. Buildings should be made laterally strong so that they can overcome dominant lateral forces.

3. In High seismic activity areas devices such as energy absorbers should be used. Base isolation must necessarily be done.

4. Use of hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete to increase the toughness of a structure in a Moment Resisting Frame. Moment resisting frames are frames that resist moment of any devices.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

v = 1.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Maximum compression of the spring, \Delta x=0.03\ m

Spring constant, k = 800 N/m

Mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

To find,

The velocity of the block when it first reaches a height of 0.1 m above the ground on the ramp.

Solution,

When the block is bounced back up the ramp, the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the block such that,

Initial energy = Final energy

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting all the values in above equation,

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 800\times 0.03^2=0.2\times 9.8\times 0.1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.2\times v^2

v = 1.28 m/s

Therefore the velocity of block when it first reaches a height of 0.1 m above the ground on the ramp is 1.28 m/s.
