Research: 2 articles
Hypothesis: If we construct buildings using light frame wood and performance based seismic design, then we will have buildings that can stand up to a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. 
IV: Light frame work and seismic design 
DV: Stand up to a 7.5 magnitude earthquake 
Control: The building that is being built regularly. 
Constants: The magnitude of the earthquake in the test, The height of the building

Earthquake-Proof Homes.

"Earthquakes don't kill people. People's houses in the midst of earthquakes kill people. What a better way to avoid tragedy then, but by tossing a house in the air when an earthquake comes? 
That's the general idea behind the levitating house developed by the Japanese company Air danshin. The compressor  
pumps air into an airbag. Inflating it within a few more seconds, and ultimately lifting the entire house a good 3 centimeters off its supposedly earthquake-proof concrete foundation. There the structure will hover and when the earthquake is over the airbag deflates and house gently settles back down".

Acting like shock absorbers in a car, these systems allow the building to be decoupled from the shaking of the ground".]]> 2016-09-06 17:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/allyson_long/59ln1msu2zva/wish/121876024 allyson_long https://padlet.com/allyson_long/59ln1msu2zva/wish/121901228 2016-09-06 18:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/allyson_long/59ln1msu2zva/wish/121901228 allyson_long https://padlet.com/allyson_long/59ln1msu2zva/wish/122192243 http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/img/big-idea/quakeproofing-pg1.jpg
