this is what it will take as a type of building in Turkey after this disaster, after the tests, this structure perfectly resists the earthquake equivalent to 7.5 on the Richter scale, it would have saved many lives in the seismic zone .
Yes. Turkey is full of buildings that dont meet the safety criteria and are built on soft structures. The earthquakes also took place in cities with lots of poverty which is a reason why so many buildings collapsed
And of course, corruption is the biggest factor. Anyhow those buildings were approved in terms of earthquake regulations. Most of the people from the East of Turkey have bought graveyard for themselves.
But in any building people make internal changes which change properties of building so...even if this is build some joe will drill though a wall to make open space dinning room
@@stxrmyrl509 On the contrary, people were left alive because there were single-storey buildings in poor areas. a site that was advertised as the strongest buildings in the city completely collapsed. Unfortunately, the state does not impose a standard on the contractors in this regard, they steal materials as it suits them, if it continues like this, a much more terrible Istanbul earthquake awaits us..
An earthquake is certainly a unique experience. We had one a couple years ago in Idaho and it was my very first experience with one. The sensation it gives your body is very unique to only an earthquake. It's nothing like a rollercoaster at all. When the ground shakes beneath you and everything is moving, your body and equilibrium become very disoriented and you can't help but feel like you're drunk or high. In my opinion, it's one of the worst natural experiences a human body can endure, even if you're an adrenaline junkie
I've always found the experience a little unsettling, but interesting and curious. But I've only experience 3-4 scale earthquakes, which are extremely minor, and leave me wishing I'd paid more attention while they were happening (they catch you off guard, of course). I can imagine anything over a 5 or 6 would be quite a horrible feeling.
i've experienced turkey earthquake forget about shaking that adrenaline bump goes off but what doesn't go off is when u see collapsed buildings with people in it everywhere you go collapsed if u live in country like turkey everywhere is thief contractor imagine buying a house with 3 million turkish liras and it collapses in seconds and u are with your family in it even 1 week after that earthquake streets smell like corpses you can imagine the rest of it
Meanwhile, us experiencing earthquakes 2-3 times every 3 weeks. It isn't really much of a surprise. We've become used to it already that we can identify the intensity (not specifically of course, just the general scale) of the earthquake through feeling itself just by how strong the ground shakes and the lateral movements of the buildings. Perks of living within the Pacific Rim of Fire. Scale 5-6 are strong but not that much destructive than 7 and above
Could easily withstand it. 1,5 minutes is nothing compared to magnitude 8.5-9.0 quakes that lasts 5-8 minutes in Chile, Alaska and Japan. BUILD BETTER BUILDINGS!
@@namitajimmy6737 Yeah, like a tree, it has to bend or it’d tip on MY HOUSE- I have a huge tree in my front yard and in storms I am always scared that it’s gonna fall on my house!
This is the world's largest 3D shaker table. It is located at the E-Defense facility, part of the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention in Miki City, Japan.
@@ChiliCheeseD0g It is about resonance frequency. Any material has it. Unfortunately earthquake generated frequency often match building frequency. Any material cracks when the wave matches its frequency.
@@sergiobastos4274 Wow i never thought someone with enough brain to text would make a correlation between the earthquake and nato. Thanks for surprising me.
@@sergiobastos4274 Oh a peterson fan, his fanbase is very consistent with the amount of intellectual power they put on their comments which is near zero.
On top of budget and all that I think having any machine carry and shake the tons and tons of steel and concrete is probably impossible to build today.
@1:09 there’s a crack of splintering wood. Also unless there are added weights somewhere, this isn’t realistic because there’d be many additional tons of cladding, roof, windows, doors, interior drywall, plumbing, flooring, appliances, fixtures, furniture, full hot water heaters, and people and all their stuff. The shear loads would be much higher than tested.
the problem in Turkey is the ground . I also saw people remove columns because of their store just because to have more space in the 1st floor which is such a huge mistake . I have family in Izmir , and most of the buildings are up in the hills which requires really really good solid and stable structure . But as we saw last year same thing happened. If it is a flat ground alright but up in the hills the structure must be planned more seriously . It sad that those architectures tried to get away from the country when everything happened . For them the important thing is only the money
this is a retrofit, a quick solution for already built wooden houses, Turkey should try something which is basically copying the Chilean code of building
@@olekatoska1901 The new building code in Turkey (uptaded in 2018) is way more disiplined than Japan. But the problem is in bad execution, lack of control and corruption on old houses. I really envy Mexico and Chile. The absolute solution is to build two story houses like in US and Europe.
@@denissadak2521 We have already forgotten old earthquakes that happened back in history and built concrate houses on plains and alluvium grounds. Most collapses happened on that kind of terrains. All we need is to follow new building codes carefully and control it on progress.
In the case of gas, it is dangerous, so the system we have now is to shut off the gas supply as soon as a strong tremor is detected. This system is located throughout each house and in the middle of pipes, minimizing the impact if a pipe breaks.
I survived the big one in 1989; 6.9 loma prieta. Houses which were well build all survived. Wooden houses really are the best; unless you go with reinforced concrete or steel.
i like those people . they always come up with the best solutions. here's a good example of them taking this more seriously than anyone else in the world.
@@jamesfranko1568 ya only a few 150+ year old roofs collapsed, and a few fancy ceilings/lights in expensive restaurants and such. there's a video of skyscrapers swaying in tokyo that i found astonishing. the only harm i'm aware of was mainly from hoarders who had their stuff fall onto them.
@@ayaanyani5521 japan earthquakes come from 500 km from down icra ..turkey earthquake happend 18 km to surface..so it is many times bigger then japan earthquakes because it is in surface.. although japan seen 9 magneitute..7.9 and 7.5 turkey earthquake much more deadly..japan will have smililar results if same happend in surface although they claim best in building engineering at leart in turkey people dont live in caves too..New buildings collapesed too
@@sforza1903 you are partially correct. The earthquake in Turkey was closer to the surface. However, saying that Japan would have similar results is objectively wrong. The problem in Turkey is the poor build quality/corrupt inspections, which does not exist in Japan to the same level.
The problem is, even if these small structures are built to withstand and 7.5 earthquake, does not mean they are safe. So many smaller buildings were crushed by larger buldings collapsing on top of them. We have a long way to go to make cities safer.
I think it is possible to build structures in a way where the 'design itself' can keep it from collapsing. Putting extra material into the construction to brace it more to me is just more added weight, and as you suggested - more cost. For instance why hasn't anyone thought of designing a frame that is flexible enough to have a backup system designed into it in the event (let's say) a joint beam comes apart from another joint beam? Why can't both of those loose ends fall into another part of the frame design to keep it from coming apart? Physics would have to be played with and included into such a test. How about adding cables in with the frames, cables to keep the structure from coming apart? Maybe some kind of puzzle design? Joints that can catch onto something else to keep it in the general place its supposed to be? In my view it is the frame that holds up the structure and so it should be the frame that should have designs within it that keeps it all from coming apart? This concept can be tested just by itself alone to see how it would work, make improvements on the design and then build the finish on it and see how the theory works out as a full unit? Everyone keeps building things with a cookie cutter concept. Think outside of the box and make it fun to design. These videos can offer a lot of information if people study them a lot more to understand the physics more.
A 10.0 is the equivalent of 2 times the entire world's Nuclear Arsenal, or 1 million Hiroshima Nuclear Bombs. It would be nearly 6 times more powerful than the 1960 Valdivia earthquake (Most powerful earthquake on record) and was felt/detected 6000 miles away from the epicenter. It would be 22 times more powerful than the 2004 Boxing Day earthquake/tsunami that killed 280,000 people. It would be nearly 2,000 times more powerful than the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake that killed 3,000 people and destroyed 80% of San Francisco. And 89,000 times more powerful than the 1994 Northridge (Los Angeles) Earthquake that caused an estimated 100 billion in damage
Wood structures age? As long as the wood is kept dry it lasts for lifetimes. The main reason some areas around the world use wood vs concrete is just based on availability of resources.
тряханули неплохо, но дом стоит на жёстком ровном основании, а вот если бы ещё к этому неравномерно просаживался и вспучивался фундамент, как происходит в реальность, я бы посмотрел что бы вышло...
They made extra sure to build that right, whereas in most cases contractors get lazy and forget shit or cut corners. Not all the time but I've seen it.
from what we have seen from 4 major earthquakes and their footage from turkey in past 5 years. earthquakes dont just shake you left and right in almost every instance the surface of earth is litteraly bouncing up and down flexing and bending looking like a litteraly jelly cake cooled in fridge. some buildings no way in hell can survive that.
This test is misleading on so many levels. It will take a lot of time to write down in a youtube comment the "little" things what would make a difference... for example : Not only a 20 seconds earthquake, the corrosion of the building through years, appliances like tiles ... so on so on.
Nice okay. But Maraş and Elbistan earthquakes in Turkey lasted for 1 minute. This test takes 10 seconds. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake lasts an average of 40 to 60 seconds.
Test by a single quake only !!! But most of the buildings collapes by a number of quakes during a massive earthquake including main shock and after shocks.
As a Agean Turk, i experienced many Earthquakes in my life, after big earthquakes happen in my city, a lot of more earthquakes happen everyday for months, i experienced earthquake in toilet, while studying, while sleeping, in the school and school bus and more.
@@dontinsultmyprevioushandle unfortunately, there is nearly no more city where people can live as they used to. for both cases in hatay and maraş, all you can see is collapsed buildings around streets even if not, most of all are highly damaged. government possibly does not reveal the actual death rates or injuries. it is said that rates are "at least" 3-4 times higher which is around 150-200k, and that's horrendous. and still, government does not hesitate to hide the truth and cancel any sort of help for the sake of money. the governmental institute kızılay, the ONLY purpose of them was to save the people who are desperate. they sell donated blood, and tents which were prepared to be DONATED for the victims of any sort of disaster. they are way eviler than the devil itself. by the way, expectedly earthquakes are still happening, and many of them are greater than 4 mw.
In my opinion the degree level should be raised and the time of the shock lengthened. We can never know how strong an earthquake will ever be and how long it may last.
oh wow, from the outside it doesn't look that shaky but the inside is veryyyy shaky. Never been in an earthquake that strong, it must be a terrifying experience
i was designing this minimal earthquake tests when i was highscool kid in 2003, unfortunately i grew up in turkey, my shit friends, my dumb teachers were laughing at me, my mind was diving into these kind of dreams and my lecturers were thinking i am stupid and not interested with lessons, i had many troubles about stupid lectures, garbage turkish education system and many other things, now this systems and many other invensions are blinking at me from someone elses hands, when i die, giant ideas will be burried too. actually i am seeing that people are growing, many ideas has been found, i swear i was living with current many inventions 20 years before with only some drawings and calculations on paper. whatever but it hurts
That wasn't the purpose of this test. This test was intended to validate the FEMA P-807 guidelines that address seismic retrofit requirements for weak-story, wood-frame buildings in seismically active regions of the United States. For the test you're interested in please google "cone penetrometer testing" or "cone penetration testing."
@@strongtie Already did. What I mean, is that the sismic waves deform the floor on which the buildings are founded, producing peaks of local upward deformation that account as "imposed deformation", not so much as "imposed acceleration", and very easily break the buildings. Such fenomena gets worse of course on soft soils, like Mexico City, but it still exist everywhere.
Europeans always talk shit about USA’s wood homes but look how well they perform under those conditions. Just amazing, those brick houses aren’t all that apparently
6-storey wooden building. It may be earthquake resistant, but not against time. The walls may be wooden, but the load-bearing columns must be steel or concrete (or hybrid).
' what kind of material build the model house... concrete / cement / metal / wood are big different strength of material... earthquake have few different ways of position shakes
