However, most seismic activity is felt only as a peripheral impression. Below ground, though, structural and infrastructural damage can occur even if the ground vibrations are barely felt above ground; hence, the need for a seismic modelling system. What Is Seismic Modelling? It’s a half theoretical, half practical assessment system that’s designed to make structures earthquake resistant. And not just from the so-called big quakes, either. If a … Continue reading What Do Seismic Modelling of Structures Mean?
