Evergreen Consulting Engineering, the structural engineer, designed taipei 101 to withstand gale winds of 60 metres per second (197 ft/s), (216 km/h or 134 mph), as well as the strongest earthquakes in a 2,500-year cycle.

Taipei 101 was designed to be flexible as well as structurally resistant, because while flexibility prevents structural damage, resistance ensures comfort for the occupants and for the protection of glass, curtain walls , and other features.Most designs achieve the necessary strength by enlarging critical structural elements such as bracing.

-Roads, bridges and dams can be built to resist the shaking of the ground so that they do not collapse, or can be easily repaired if they collapsed
-Homes, office buildings and factories can be fitted with trip switches that ensure all electrical points are switched off in the event of an earthquake.This measure prevents fires from breaking out. Like for example in Japan, machines in many factories automatically shut down when they sense earthquake vibrations.
-It also includes fewer lives lost, faster rescue and evacuations and less money spent on recovery or the affected areas.]]> 2016-08-11 11:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nuraqilah0602/kmbwmfgnyfkp/wish/117995310 nuraqilah0602 https://padlet.com/nuraqilah0602/kmbwmfgnyfkp/wish/117996371 2016-08-11 12:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nuraqilah0602/kmbwmfgnyfkp/wish/117996371 Properties that makes it resistant to earthquakes nuraqilah0602 https://padlet.com/nuraqilah0602/kmbwmfgnyfkp/wish/117996507 -Steel and Reinforced Concrete

If he is right, then it raises concerns about proposals such as Sky City 1000 in Japan, the vertical city that has been proposed to solve Tokyo's housing problems. And it is not just skyscrapers that are a problem. Dams and underground waste deposits may also cause rumblings if they become too large.I think that the considerable stress might be transferred into the upper crust due to the extremely soft sedimentary rocks beneath the Taipei basin. Deeper down this may have reopened an old earthquake fault]]> 2016-08-11 12:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nuraqilah0602/kmbwmfgnyfkp/wish/117997631
