They are bad because the mortar holding it together isn't strong enough to resist earthquake forces. The main waves during an earthquake that destroy buildings with unreinforced masonry are seismic waves.]]> 2021-10-05 17:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1793876584 adarnold4 https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1793893707 Seismic waves destroy brick walls when the horizontal waves travel around the earth and cause shaking. Brick walls can not handle this shaking and they collapse.]]> 2021-10-05 17:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1793893707 adarnold4 https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794221425 The solution to make sure the brick walls don't collapse is to add a steel frame. We need this to prevent the walls from collapsing. Some retrofitted buildings have reinforced with plastic but we decided to use steel since it is WAY stronger.]]> 2021-10-05 19:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794221425 camkulow https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794351305 To add steel framing to reinforce the wall you would have metal bars vertically every couple feet to support to the level above. That way when the brick wall breaks there will still be steel holding it up. Because the wall is already made it is too late to redo the whole wall so the idea I came up with is put the metal on the outside of the bricks by screwing them together with concrete screws so it can still support the floor above. It will also help when the brick wall is falling apart and breaking to help keep it together.]]> 2021-10-05 20:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794351305 adarnold4 https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794457138 During an earthquake, buildings that aren't bolted down will slide off the foundation. The waves that cause buildings to slide off foundations are Seismic waves. Seismic waves are horizontal waves that travel around the Earth and through it. ]]> 2021-10-05 21:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794457138 adarnold4 https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794472514 Basically you just need to drill holes in the foundation and install anchor bolts. You would do this in that crawl space that was really short and that Mr. Hoopman didn't go in. This will prevent the building from slipping off the foundation. You could add steel pillars down in the crawl space but is just as effective to just bolt down the foundation, so why do all that extra work when it does the same thing??]]> 2021-10-05 21:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794472514 adarnold4 https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794479828 2021-10-05 21:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1794479828 adarnold4 https://padlet.com/camkulow/ptk2qc8e6f543e8l/wish/1796582317 https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/retrofit-existing-buildings
