In The Netherlands we almost exclusively build houses with bricks (both loadbearing walls and facade walls), guess its a viable option because there are no earthquakes here.
These examples did not have the rings. Which we do in most of europe. - there is a reinforced concrete ring over the whole perimeter of the house at the top of every floor. Probably won't make it safest, but better than these examples.
I engineered houses for a region in the Netherlands called Groningen. A region tormented by induced earthquakes from gas extraction. The most simple solution for existing houses was to place wooden stud walls in front of the masonry walls.
How are older masonary buildings in europa build? If i (in germany) think of Masonary buildings i'm picturing old fabrics. I don't think they have the concrete ring. Do i just remember incorrect, or are the rings a more modern method for masonary building?
That's why depending on the nature of the region, the engineer will prescribe a set number of horizontal ties which will either be intermediate rcc beams/ geotextile material etc
I was wondering what are the kinds like structure let’s say bricks that you use? Are they custom made or can they buy them as I would love to use them.
“Brock buildings prevent fires” uh they definitely do not. Unless you just magically don’t have anything remotely flammable in your house? There are plenty of building systems that are not brick that have good fire ratings. And yea earthquakes are far more dangerous than a fire. Most fires don’t lead to catastrophic collapse of a structure unlike a decently sized earthquake will do to a building not designed for it. Plus he is specifically talking about old UNREINFORCED masonry buildings. He did NOT say that reinforced masonry cannot be used
Not all earthquake have horizontal movements. P-Waves, S-waves, Love waves, Rayleigh waves. Those have different impacts on different structures. So as always in engineering, making a generalisation like this one is absurd. It depends. Sure masonry that isn't reinforced isn't ideal. But it also depends on the intensity of the earthquake, and all regions adapt to those requirements.
Proper brick structures overlap the bricks so they tie together into a strong structure . Except in London where the bricks have giant holes . Stacking bricks like that Lego model has no ties between stacks of bricks. Lego bricks have their knobs to allow stacking them in all the good brick patterns, and this is how we learned once those toys became common . Before that we used actual miniature bricks and temporary mortar .
Uh yea not every place sits within the vicinity of a fault capable of producing earthquakes. Not really sure what the gotcha is here? Now tell me how many of the brick structures that humans have built since the beginning of time are still around? especially those in high seismic areas
And the vast majority of Europe doesn't have big earthquakes or any at all. So it's fine for us to build from bricks, because earthquakes aren't a problem for us.
I cant believe that the 3 Little Pigs have lied to us this whole time !
No lies were made the brick house withstood a mighty Gale from the terrible wolf not and earthquake

@@gytisdramblewolfskis8521 True the reinforced concrete floors make a building much more stable

Is that why the east coast seems to have more brick building because they have less earthquakes?
The last image is from Chch NZ probably the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes
You should have shown a video of how Avery enforced structure does on the earthquake pad as well
I never cared much bout civil engineering but I like your way of teaching and explaining
A building built out of legos would damage the earthquake and rip a city-sized hole in the ground if it were to topple over, if.
As a 2nd year CE student who always waste time on yt, I finally found a good channel to pass time
00:46 looks like that one map ,Town, in BO2 zombies
You should check how we build houses in Mizoram India

How do recycled plastic bricks faire in earthquake?
As he showed. Plastic bricks would be brittle and become very brittle with sun exposure.
Brick buildings prevent fires. Fire is more of hazard than earthquakes.
Not in California
@@screetchycello There are more house fires than earthquakes.

Sounds like a skill issue considering we have been using it on gisnt buildings for thousands of years.
Not in seismically active areas. That's why the Japanese have always built their buildings out of wood.
It is depends on region. For region without earthquake probably much safer. For region with frequent earthquake like Japan then you may have issues

What is Legos? Surely you mean Lego? I'd start with grammar before moving on to civil engineering...
grammar police be yappin'
The sad part of the internet is letting utter failures and losers pretend they aren't with snide comments like yours.
Oh no, he pluralised Lego into Legos. 🙄 Just admit you're jealous.
Lmao bro thinks that this is a “gotcha”💀 how do those windows taste Chris?
@RandomandEngineering
Europe is building houses nearly exclusively using bricks 🧱
And the vast majority of Europe doesn't have big earthquakes or any at all. So it's fine for us to build from bricks, because earthquakes aren't a problem for us.
