I was hoping for a video that shows the old traditional technique of building wooden houses without nails, and if/how they survive earthquakes.

You left out one fact that the Kobe earthquake was extremely violent, despite being a 6.9, it had an MMI rating of XII (Shindo 7), at that intensity, even a earthquake proof building can collapse

A *little* late to comment, but an idea for preventing water pipe destruction. Could they not create corrugated pipes that flex during an earthquake. Think the bendy straws we use, but, you know, for utilities. The same for electrical lines underground. When you shouldn't break, bend. Just a thought.

<<@RayShorts1123

Point of this video. If you are thinking about retiring and moving to Japan, DON'T!!! Move to a country where there are no tectonic plates, like Florida for example. We only suffer hurricanes here in which is easy to prepare for.

Now I want to know what the building code in Japan is…

<<@Trifler500
says :
My first experiment to maintain the water and electrical connections would be to do the same thing we currently do for natural gas, namely use flexible piping at key locations. The shake table experiments should help to identify those key locations.

<<@owlofhyperion

It’s about the will of the government to protect its people from earthquakes. In China, recent earthquakes especially in Sichuan killed students in their schools as their structures collapsed. The Chinese government still doesn’t care much. Moreover it did the opposite and tried to suppress the news.

I am back here to comment that the thumbnail has been changed to what seems like an AI generated image, and to say that I'm disappointed they chose that over an image over a year after this video was posted. The original title and thumbnail was, if I am not mistaken, "The world's largest earthquake machine" and the thumbnail was a test building on the machine with a red circle and text saying "1300 tons".

Hello Derek. Why do they need to pump the hydraulic oil to the simulator if the oil is already pressurized by expanded Nitrogen??
>>
<<@CCCharles
says :
Hi Derek there is another way to prevent house from collapsing in earthquake, traditional Chinese wood buldings have a counter intuitive approach to earthquake, we build a top heavy and light bottom wood house. It can withstand earthquake of more than magnitude 10.

<<@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQ
says :
Can you imagine working there as a builder; you spend all week putting up a building, laying out furniture, the books; it's like moving house, only harder. At the end of the week, they shake place to pieces and you have start all over again on Monday.

<<@Shah9730
says :
I live in Chittagong, the second-largest city in Bangladesh. It sits at the dangerous junction of three major tectonic plates—the Indian Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and the Burma Plate. A major earthquake could strike at any moment; our history proves that. And if it happens at night, when everyone is asleep, a bed could turn into a grave. Our government is deeply corrupt. They do not think about ordinary citizens. Building codes are neither updated to withstand strong earthquakes nor properly enforced. One day an earthquake may come, and I may die—buried under rubble with all my dreams yet to achieve, along with millions of others like me.

As someone who experienced an earthquake as a kid, the tests done here looks more terrifying than the one which I lived through (we were far from the epicenter to avoid damage but close enough to make it like a weird theme-park ride.

Flexible pipes with good amount of lenght between ground to the inside the homes. But to be maintenance free for longer years will have to be made of expensive materials

So how do you earthquake proof your house? The video talks about the history of things and the technology used. But it doesn't really answer the question. So, I'm disappointed. More of this and I'm unsubscribing.
