It's a giant speaker, in other words.
@SP-ny1fk Says:
If I had known in highschool that there was a job in which I could destroy buildings using earthquakes I would've studied accordingly. Woefully under-informed. lol
@youngmasterzhi Says:
You can also simulate those vibrations with a hotel brothel with all workers performing in tandem

I thought the Kobe Earthquake was a 7.2?? + dont say the name of the Lord in vain

Hola
@YourLocalCapybara69 Says:
i have an idea: earthquake cancellation it uses a seismogram to measure the shaking and its on a shaking table, which pushes the table the opposite way from the output on the seismogram, and with destructive interference, it should be able to cancel out the earthquake.
@tomsterbg8130 Says:
Idea: use this while measuring real time tectonic data to try and cancel out a real earthquake.
@中村昌秀-m7f Says:
In the M7.6 earthquake that occurred on January 1, 2024, the ground uplifted by about 4 meters in just one minute. This simulation seems unable to handle that.
@siorisati241 Says:
One of the most difficult aspects of Japanese buildings is that they must be able to keep the cold of winter inside, not deteriorate in the heat and humidity of summer, and not collapse during earthquakes.

Japan is the real deal.

耐震技術は日本の技術を是非見に来て真似する事から初めて全世界が安全に暮らせるよう取り組んでください
@terracota1698 Says:
that's cool. in peru we're more like "yeah, an earthquake is gonna happen anytime soon but whatever". like, we have this "fenómeno del niño" thing, and we just do nothing about it 😪
@Conk-bepis Says:
What if the building where earthquake resistant technology gets hit by an earthquake ?
@thegooeymanschannel7128 Says:
19:34 you can tell he's thinking, something better fall!
@brianchar-bow3273 Says:
”Seismic” is to withstand seismic forces so that the building does not collapse. ”Seismic control” absorbs the seismic force received and suppresses the shaking of the building. ”Seismic isolation” separates the foundation from the building and channels the seismic force. ”Seismic control” is more important for high-rise buildings.

I was 15 when the earthquake in Kobe happened. I still remember, first 3 days, an unreal site coming into my eyes kept me as if I was dreaming. On day four, I think my brain caught up and suddenly it turned into reality and exhaustion stuck my body and my knees lost strength... Fortunately, my family and relatives were fine but a few of my friends lost their lives...
@graxxor Says:
hang on. are you sure a 1 increase in magnitude is a 10 increase in energy? I thought it was a factor of about 1000 for 2 magnitudes not 100... or about 33 x per magnitude...

I love the guy rolling around on his office chain in the opening earthquake
@david_r_munson Says:
Sitting here in my 35 year old wooden apartment building in Japan, watching this video, wondering about when the big one's gonna hit, and wondering how this building will do...
@ありんこ-d6m Says:
I’m Japanese and had no clue about this facility. I imagined something like this exists, but didn’t know the history behind it or seen it. In motion. Glad I came across this video. Thank you for the great content!
@MarkDirnt Says:
Derek, you need an engineer in JP to make interviews also in local language give me a shout!
@minor_locrian7 Says:
Earthquakes happen so frequently we just get used to them.

Japan is best

Respect to Japan !
@kodikodi-o5z Says:
it is very impressive they dont use computer simulation
@alexsierra5733 Says:
Wonderful video, but would be better if the guy didn't talk so much while all Japanese was in silence and we wanted to watch the earthquake simulation!

WISDOM FRAGMENT: Melbourne had an Earthquake last year. I thought Enginéars had grown tired of waking me up with SATCOM as their Sleep Deprivation Protocol & had entered my Apartment to kinetically shake my bed in situ. YES. I really thought THIS rather than defaulting to Mother Nature Shifting Tectonic plates as she rolled over in Bed. The moral of the story is VIOLENT HUMANS are the Problem & I'm So Tired of THEM & So is Mother Nature. Because ever since I shifted to another Apartment they Enter my Abode while I'm Out & engage in STASI Zersetzung style Vandalism. And every Such Episode Will have Consequences that will Reverberate Яесiprocally like Newton's 3rd

I wonder if you can feed a sound file through the shake table
@AndyAnaya Says:
so you can just hit replay on an earthquake you have recorded on mp3?

lol what, we had these in my high school.
@hmtcmduarte Says:
Thank you Veritasium for sharing this marvelous insight of the best that is done in the world to gain knowledge about earthquakes and their intereaction with human built structures. There is however a bit of a misconception that is present on the video regarding what is called the "return period", which I think it derives from the the unfortunate name given. This "return period" relates to probability only. Saying you have a return period of 100 years means that there is a 0.01% probability of that same seismic event occur every year and not that it occurs every 100 years. Again, thanks for sharing!

Who tf is this guy at 2:14?? i came here for Veritasium!! thi is annoying. im unsubbing.
@JunkPhubeta Says:
Intrusive thought, but has anyone ever stood on the shake table and experienced the Kobe Earthquake?
@timmccormack3930 Says:
Imagine if we spent those kinds of resources on preparing for the next pandemic.
@kingstich8414 Says:
200 years from now a earthquake is gonna collapse E defense
@ExecuteBrandon Says:
So how come the Chilean earthquake kills more people than Kobe, but causes far less economic damage? Are Chilean lives worth less than Japanese? 😂
@zumabbar Says:
such a groundbreaking research
@zam023 Says:
11:00 an uninformed viewer might easily mistake these life-size houses as miniatures. I mean who would imagine someone actually build a shake table that could accommodate life-size buildings. Incredible feat of engineering.
