strongest and most frequent earthquakes. By researching the different places most susceptible to earthquakes and where those earthquakes could be most powerful, San Francisco was able to create zoning maps of which places to build and how strong those buildings had to be to withstand the earthquakes in that area. This information theoretically allowed San Francisco to build the city in a way that it could withstand earthquakes, but the city didn’t use all of this knowledge wisely in rebuilding (U.S. Geological

love learning and discovering new things. After many cups of coffee, I obtained an idea or goal to create a three-dimensional foam architectural model of my dream house. My family built our own house in India last year and on viewing the stages of building a house became one of my interest. I always wondered how the workers/builders managed to get the house in perfect shape as the engineer contemplated. For instance, how can a bunch

earthquake prone areas? Building materials Springs and other building materials are used to help save lives in earthquake prone areas. Scientist use a variety of different materials spanning from shock absorbers to springs. Scientists put springs under building that allow the buildings to sway but not topple over. Scientist tell builders to put steel bracing supports around or in the walls of buildings in between these are shock absorbers which stop the vibrating from going up the building. These are made

whole. Los Angeles has always been deemed to be one of the hardest cities to develop in being one of the greatest cities in the world. This comes as a result of all of the history behind the buildings in the city. In addition, many of the buildings in the great city (both historical structures and regular buildings) are being renovated and reshaped to keep up with modern trends. Throughout the course of the growth of the city of Los Angeles, the city has seen a lot of growth in terms of infrastructure

Feldman, Jim. “Camp Randall Stadium.” The Buildings of the University of Wisconsin, University Archives, Madison, WI, 1997, pp. 168–172. This is a chapter of the book “The Buildings of the University of Wisconsin” that goes into detail about Camp Randall Stadium and its history. The chapter goes back over a hundred years to when Camp Randall was first constructed and then from there it talks about all the additions and changes to Camp Randall and the reason for these. This is an interesting

began to shatter were enough to wake Rose M. Quinn from her bed in the early morning hours of April 18, 1906. The earthquake that lasted just one minute was estimated to be close to 8.0 on the richter scale and was large enough to destroy 30,000 buildings, including her own home, in what was determined to be one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in U.S history. And while Ms.Quinn held out hope that her “City of the Golden West” would restore its nearly 400 million dollars worth of damage

On Wednesday, October 26th, 2016, I attended the Durham planning board meeting located at the Council Chambers of the Durham Town Hall. The meeting began at 7:00pm and went till 10:05 pm.

” now that's something to be proud of. Especially since the word “top”, was never something I labeled myself. The sun was now beaming down on me as I found my way to the science building for registration. This was quite easy to find since there was giant lettering on it which said “Science,” and it was the only building that wasn’t colored red, white, and made of brick. As I checked in and got my room key and ID card I made my way to my dorm to unpack. Less than an hour had passed and it was time

Some people might think that the people living on the streets don’t have a home because they didn’t make use of opportunities while they could. Even though that may be true for some, others didn’t have the best childhood and didn’t have the money to go to school and be successful. I am here to give them a second chance and renew themselves. I am creating an organization to build tiny homes for the homeless. I have done some research about different tiny homes communities. There are several in the
