@engroracon: What Happens to the Foundation of a 3-Storey Building During an E@rthquake? #EngrOracon #Construction #CivilEngineering #structuralengineering
Combined Voice-over
Earthquake waves travel through the soil and into the foundation, creating powerful lateral forces that move the entire structure. A properly reinforced foundation distributes these forces safely into the ground while allowing the building to flex as one connected system. Good foundation design, strong reinforcement, and stable soil help a 3-storey building remain stable during intense shaking.
Teaching
The foundation is the first structural element to receive earthquake forces from the ground. These forces are transferred through the footings into the columns, then through the beams and slabs. Engineers design foundations with adequate reinforcement, proper anchorage, and suitable soil support so the building can deform safely without losing its structural integrity.
