Abstract

The study of earthquakes and their impact on buildings from the practical application of Physics in Architecture is essential to ensure the safety of building occupants in seismic zones. Models made with spaghetti and tested on a shaking table allow architects and engineers to experiment with different designs and materials to determine the best way to resist the vibrations produced by earthquakes. Teaching innovation and education play a fundamental role in the study of earthquakes and their impact on buildings through the practical application of Physics in Architecture. To ensure the safety of occupants in seismic zones, it is necessary to have well-trained and up- to-date professionals in the latest techniques and knowledge related to earthquake-resistant design.
