In a real-world check, a part of this constructing collapsed whereas the remainder remained standing
Jose M. Adam
Deliberately engineering structural weaknesses right into a constructing can forestall catastrophic collapse. This counterintuitive technique efficiently restricted injury to a two-storey concrete constructing in its first real-world experiment.
The innovation was impressed partly by the way in which lizards will sacrifice their tails to flee the clutches or jaws of predators. On this case, segments of the constructing’s connective construction are designed to interrupt when careworn past a sure level as an alternative of knocking down the remainder of the construction.…
