The more ductile steel is capable of absorbing considerably more energy when deformed - a behavior that resists earthquake forces and is used in design.

They make you believe that flamenco really can change with the times and still not lose its earthquake force.

DesRoches said: "If the buildings were older and built prior to that 1976 earthquake, chances are they weren't built for adequate earthquake forces."

In this case, sudden earthquake forces immediately increases the pore pressure of shallow groundwater.

The cross braces and core walls in both towers are designed to take earthquake forces with the former taking 15% of the forces and the latter taking 85%.

Process ductwork is subject to large loads due to dust buildup, fan suction pressure, wind, and earthquake forces.

With this extra-bracing, this tower can withstand earthquake forces nearly four times as efficiently as a conventionally damped building.

The house was constructed in double brick, and it is this unreinforced masonry construction that was unable to cope with the earthquake forces.

The fact that the earthquake force is modeled as a constant force acting in one direction, represents this model's major limitation.

He could get the chessboard to erupt with a malevolent earthquake force that shot treacherous combinations in every direction.
