What else can I help you with?
What will happen to a base-isolated building when seismic waves strike the building during an earthquake?
During an earthquake, a base-isolated building will experience reduced lateral movement and lower accelerations compared to buildings with conventional foundations. The seismic waves will be absorbed, dispersed, and redirected by the isolators, helping to protect the building and its contents from structural damage.
What type of building rest on a foundation and tilts and cracks during earthquakes?
Base-Isolated
A type of building that absorbs the energy of seismic waves is a fixed-base building true or false?
False. A type of building that absorbs the energy of seismic waves is typically referred to as a base-isolated building, not a fixed-base building. Base isolation involves the use of flexible bearings or isolators that allow the building to move independently from ground motion, reducing seismic forces. In contrast, fixed-base buildings are rigidly anchored to their foundations and do not have this energy-absorbing capability.
What is a building designed to reduce the amount of energy that reaches the building during an earthquake is called?
A Base-isolated designed building reduces the amount of energy that reaches the building during an earthquake. For older buildings they are retrofitted for earthquakes.
Where is an isolated dwelling?
an isolated dwelling is a place with only 1-2 building in the area around it.
Definition for base isolated building?
Well...I would think that it is a building that's base is isolated i don't know you tell me
A building mounted on bearings that absorb an earthquakes energy?
base-isolated building
How does a base-isolated building move during an earthquake?
they bend
A what building is designed to reduce the amount of energy that reaches the building during an earthquake?
Base-Isolated Building
Does a base isolated building design increase the amount of energy that reaches the building during an earthquake?
No

What type of building rest on a foundation and tilts and cracks during earthquakes?
Base-Isolated
What will happen to a base isolated building when seismic waves strike the building?
it will not break it will just stand because it is build to be strong.
What is a base-isolated building?
also known as seismic or base isolation system.
What will happen to a base-isolated building when seismic waves strike the building during earthquake?
it will not break it will just stand because it is build to be strong.
How does a base isolated building reduced the amount of energy that reaches the building during an earthquake?
you can rest the house on shock-absorbing rubber pads.
