2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define pounding between adjacent structures.
What happens to buildings when an earthquake occurs?
What is a separation gap?
Think about why we create space between buildings.
What is the purpose of a separation gap between adjacent structures?
Think about what happens during an earthquake.
True or False: A separation gap is calculated using the formula Gap = 0.005 x h, where h is the height of the building.
Recall the formula discussed in class.
Design a small residential area where various building heights and designs disagree. Explain how you would calculate appropriate separation gaps for each building to mitigate pounding effects.
Consider differences in both height and design; what does each building need?
Evaluate the potential consequences of not adhering to the separation gap requirements in a mixed-use building development. What risks might arise during an earthquake?
What are the impacts on safety and compliance?
