QUAKE-PROOFAPPLYING LAWS OF MOTION TO EARTHQUAKE-PROOF BUILDING DESIGN

DeEtta AndersenScience Teacher and student for lifeCenter Point Urbana High School

Page 2: Quake-proof Power Point

OVERVIEW•Build and design structures that withstand horizontal

movements on a shake table•Determine a way to measure the stress on the

building•Re-design and re-test• Present summary of findings and recommendations

THE STANDARDSPICK WHAT FITS YOUR NEEDS• HS PS2-3 Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, ad

refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.• HS-ETS1-3 Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on

prioritized criteria, and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

INTEGRATION INTO YOUR CURRICULUM

• Introduction activity: Inertia, engineering practices, how to measure forces and motion•Application activity: Laws of motion, Predict acceleration given F and m, momentum.

• I will use the 5E learning cycle for this activity...

Page 7: Quake-proof Power Point

ENGAGE•Why do some parts of buildings fall and others stay

standing?

ENGAGE, PART 2• Where is this a concern? • Could this happen to you?!• USGS earthquake map

Page 10: Quake-proof Power Point

EXPLORE• Design a 4 story building that withstands the horizontal forces it receives in a seismic event• All structures must have a floor (no spires)•Minimum height: 24 cm•Minimum mass: 45 grams • All floors must have added weight. Can use tape to secure the weight, but not the joints of the building. • Constrain number of toothpicks (25-50) and marshmallows. Styrofoam unlimited.

Page 11: Quake-proof Power Point

MATERIALS• Toothpicks• Marshmallows and/or Styrofoam peanuts• Weights, washers, etc.• Ruler, protractor• Shake tables (tray/lid, rubber bands, weights, marbles,

staples)• Spring scales• Tape (secure buildings on shake tables; simulating

footings)• Scales

HOW TO MEASURE BUILDING DAMAGE

• Students can determine this• Tilt from vertical• Amount of bend• Both quantitative and qualitative

data opportunities• They may want to document with

photos

Page 13: Quake-proof Power Point

EXPLAIN• Based on your data, what building design

factors influence stability? • How does inertia relate to building stability?

What parts of your building showed the most and least inertia? How do you explain this finding?• Explain the difference between the two shake

tables based on what you know about inertia.• What do professional architects use to reduce

the effects of forces on buildings?

Page 14: Quake-proof Power Point

EVALUATE• How are these forces similar and

different to actual seismic waves? • What constraints do engineers

have to work with in retro-fitting older buildings? • What constraints do they work

with in designing new buildings? • What are the costs and benefits

of each type of building material?

I LOVE THE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS OF RETROFITTING BUILDINGS!

Rubber dampers, elevated, decreased surface area

RESOURCES• They love this shake test of a 30 story model building in China• Rounded architecture video• Great video on retrofit and constraints of engineering• California highway retrofits• Effects on man-made structures• Lots of resources in one site• Exploratorium Engineering for Earthquakes• Don't dislike Wikipedia...best introductory source for this yet!• Lesson plans for other options to test • This reading is excellent and student-friendly. It covers multiple topics.http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/20130726-1556-20490-0102/fema454_chapter4.pdf• There are so many other resources!
