Intraplate Earthquakes | Another Type of EQ

Intraplate earthquakes are a particularly destructive type of seismic activity, which can cause considerable damage to buildings and infrastructure. They can also be difficult to predict compared to other kinds of seismic disturbances. As...

Viscous Dampers

Seismic Dampers in Buildings | Types Overview

Building safety and seismic protection are important considerations for civil engineers when designing structures. Seismic dampers in buildings, a relatively new technology, can significantly reduce the risk of damage and destruction that may occur...
