EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE STRUCTURE

EXPERIMENT NO. _____

I- Objectives:
To build a representation of an Earthquake resistant structure out of
alternative and limited materials and demonstrate the effect of
different seismic waves on the made structure.
II- Materials:
Adhesive tapes ruler
Scissors
Papers
String
