Jarðskjálftaþolnar
Jarðskjálftaþolnar refers to the design and construction of buildings and infrastructure to withstand the forces and ground motion produced by earthquakes. The primary goal of earthquake-resistant design is to prevent catastrophic collapse, thereby protecting human life and minimizing economic losses. This is achieved through a combination of engineering principles and construction techniques.
Key aspects of earthquake-resistant design include understanding seismic hazard, which involves assessing the likelihood and intensity
Common strategies employed in earthquake-resistant construction include using flexible materials that can bend and deform without
