Student’s building designs put through an earthquake simulator at Japanese university
Very impressive! Translator, please?
These are the kind of things that got me interested in learning. We used to do real-world physics, architecture, chemistry and even math experiments…but they would be demonstrations and sometimes a competition. I really learned a lot from those competitions.
So traditional cross braces work the best? Or only for wooden structures? If I remember correctly, the modern buildings have mass dampers on top of building to counteract the resonance effect.
As a 30 year old I just want to say that I wish there were like.. random competitions to compete in like this.
I would spend a month or so learning how to design a building to be earthquake proof and attempting to build one in a contest against others.
my issue with many hobbies is I get bored once i hit a certain level of skill I am happy with.. so if there was some kind of club where it consisted of random competetive things between members. I would be down.
Why can’t they speek english!
24 rekt the over engineered competition. More than half the towers fell with 2 weights and number 24 preformed just as well as all the other towers with 1 weight while using like 1/10th the material.
Strange that they gave the winners a ps4. You would think they would have given them something to maximize on their talents or a grant.
Of course in Japan u just get ps3s as prizes… Lucky fucking Japanese kids
For some reason I thought it would be a stalemate with every single structure surviving. Guess I was wrong
They’re all giggling as the buildings fall apart and thousands of people perish, figuratively speaking.
The current meta in bridge design is the triangle its pretty OP as opposed to the other shapes. It’s degree of freedom by the Grasshoff law is basically North Korea.
Meaning that a triangular chain won’t move under external forces so long as the links hold up.
Most players will use a rectangular shape but this is an amateur mistake.
Lol did they just win PS3s?
Future generation
Hell yea, he earned that PS3.
Great, they can look forward to a great career of designing earthquake proof buildings 80 hours a week! Fuck Japanese work culture.
Was not expecting them both to win a PS3 at the end.
Traditional truss still wins.
man I love the idea of highlander-style building design tournaments!
Realistically, doesn’t this have more to do with the quality of adhesive application management than anything else?
Triangles are powerful. LOZ teaches this to us.
