- This video visually explains the process of the Precast Concrete Building Testing for 9 Points Earthquakes.
According to researchers, a layer of the building material can withstand a magnitude 9.0 earthquake.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have created a fiber-reinforced concrete called eco-friendly ductile cementitious composite (EDCC), that can withstand high seismic activity. The engineered material combines "cement with polymer-based fibers, fly ash and other industrial additives," according to a university press release.
A 10-millimeter-thick (0.4 inches) layer of the EDCC is enough to reinforce existing interior walls, which can then withstand quakes of up to a 9.0 magnitude. The product not only makes buildings more durable, but also earns points for sustainability through its use of fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion. The EDCC substitutes 70 percent of the cement used to make concrete with the byproduct material instead. According to Nemy Banthia, a UBC civil engineering professor, "one ton of cement production releases almost a ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and the cement industry produces close to seven percent of global greenhouse gas emissions." Using fly ash, will lessen the environmentally harmful effects of the cement industry.
Thank you so much ive searched so long for this
You're welcome!!
Dunno. Being inside building that getting tested by earthquake is lot of balls.
Yeah, haha
I was thinking the same thing, lol, this guy doesn't fear death
Actually it's a mock up test and has a much lower percentage of compliance with a real earthquake than the shaking table test. Because in a real earthquake, the movement of the earth exerts the force on the structure, and moving from the roof and connecting the structure to the ground is not suitable forsimulation construction.
A lot of water leaks for that kind of movement lol
Actually it's a mock up test
Hello, can you please tell me what building is that? Who did the seismic testing? Any details? A research paper?
where i can find the research paper for more details?
Google scholar.
ive seen japan worst EQ videos, this doesnt look like 9 point richter scale EQ
