Let's start a conversation in the comments below about interesting things that you have noticed in this simulation!
I hope these simulations will bring more earthquake awareness around the world and educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards. I do also hope that my videos will inspire a younger generation of architects, engineers and scientists!

Welcome to the world’s largest and only 3D earthquake simulation channel on KZbin! My channel focuses on realistic 3D earthquake simulations of a variety of virtual structures and types of buildings from around the world. Some of my work has been featured by various international media news outlets and it has also been used by other large KZbin channels such as GeologyHub, GeoPop and CaSeismograph for educational purposes. This channel’s content has also been featured on the Curiosity Channel in a recent documentary called “Breakthrough: Forecasting the Big One”.
The simulations that I post serve an educational purpose and should be solely treated as such. We should not forget that earthquakes are real world events that can sometimes lead to loss of properties and lives.

It looks like the concrete building is without steel reinforcement.

[@leonardoantonio8756]

Well you could see some elasticity that would crack concrete if it weren't reinforced

[@gereniccc4487]

Its lighly renforced

[@victor_gallegos]

A comparison between a building made with cold-formed steel or light steel framing and a masonry building would be interesting. Great job!

[@jimharris8707]

The collapse of the remaining concrete at the end of 10 was epic and also saw signs that wood wasn't going to survive 11. Great sim!

[@theperfectpeanutbutterjell7553]

I would be interesting to see a reinforced concrete structure.

[@ChristianWagner888]

Steel buildings are certainly the safest, as they are the least likely to catastrophically collapse, and even if they collapse there should be more gaps to make rescue more promising due to more ductile failures. Not all reinforced concrete buildings need to collapse at an XI or XII intensity, though. If you look at the 2023 Turkey earthquake, the main shock reached MMI XI-XII (Extreme) in Antakya (Antioch and surrounding Hatay province) and near the epicenter, but you can still see plenty of apartment buildings standing. Peak ground acceleration reached up to 2 g in some areas.

[@1LEgGOdt]

You should do one of these tests with Ancient structures like Mayans, Inca, Roman, Chinese, and the Japanese. I know that the Japanese Pagodas are built without any nails, and were built like an upside down tree where each floor just floats on top of each other, And there's this dampener "Tree Trunk" that is allowed to sway freely from the top floor

[@EarthquakeSim]

I am definitely planning to make this kind of a simulation this month! 😁

[@anelifloris5980]

This doesn't seem fully realistic for real buildings built to resist the earthquake. The construction of such a building involves more than just putting together the invidual parts

[@tsepheletseka5115]

Wood really is a strong material. I somehow knew the concrete building would collapse first. Problem with concrete is that while it is strong, by itself it's very brittle.

[@YourLocalBSS_BasicBee]

Tip: when any Piece of building collapses and when it touches the ground destroys into rubble and make a smokey effect that it makes Irl, that'll help increase the realism

[@CountryballsAnimadas]

You deserve more likes and views, this videos are really cool!!!!

[@EarthquakeSim]

Thank you so much friend!!! Please check my recent video it’s an update ❤️ greetings from chicago!

[@IceLordCryo]

This was amazing to watch!

[@kymymedia]

I don't know if you take recommendations on structures anymore but, If you could do a mobile home park it would be neat since a lot of people who don't have a lot of resources live and knowing what can happen and being prepared helps. I personally live in a mobile home in the area that if the wabash sismic zone ruptured it could be a intensity of 6.

[@TheRealLink]

Hey EQS! I love your videos and they are certainly a gotta-watch once you post them! One suggestion if I may. Would it be possible to put a couple varying intensity figures on the slides please? MMI + Richter or a particularly large earthquake that happened at each level if it lines up? Kind of like when people in videos do MPH and KPH or Feet and Meters.

[@EarthquakeSim]

Absolutely! I used to do that in my previous videos if you watch them❤️

[@bombafox]

Hi, I really love your work. I just find the simulation of the trees (on a lot of the video) to be a bit weird, in the sense that they bend but never break even after a crane or an entire building falls on them. Otherwise I'm already looking forward to the next video, it's like an addiction for me.

[@hazelnutcase357]

The trees are entertaining. You never know what they are going to do. It's fun to watch them jump back together 😂 A bit of light-hearted entertainment of a very serious event.

[@senast]

Sim idea: security ideas. How good are different options to make the building safer? What about connecting buildings to get bigger buildings? What about high vs wide? What about different shapes of building? What about new and crazy ideas?

[@EarthquakeSim]

I really like your feedback! I will definitely create a simulation having in mind what you said🙂

[@JoshuaRalisay-uc4ok]

For Me Concrete With or Without Steel Inside Is Still Fragile And Really Directed To The Ground Of Its Basement

[@hihihi8722]

Nice vid sim ❤😊

[@muktadirbhuyan7281]

Can you make a video about earthquake resistant technology like base isolation, tuned mass dampers, oil dampers and other vibration damping technology and compare them with traditional buildings ...

[@gwenp3450]

I would love to see that too!

[@mediadesignppg]

Wow! I love to see details and different angle zooming. Perfect ! Can you have in test in one building combination all of 3?

[@EarthquakeSim]

thanks for the feedback!!

[@PixelPenguinShorts]

Oh dam, good vid earthquake sim guy

[@albertytube5547]

Hey I want to ask, can you simulate real life earthquakes? Ex. 2011 Earthquake in Japan, 1960 Earthquake in Chile.

[@soy-Leam-Play]

[@sr_pio]

@@soy-Leam-Play ok

[@numbersstationsarchive194]

Please could you do more earthquake comparison videos with buildings with structural defects, to see how certain defects would affect a building during an earthquake?

[@EarthquakeSim]

This is actually a brilliant idea!! You know what…I’ll start working on this project right now and will give you a shout out when I post it 🙂 thank you so much for helping me with this!

[@numbersstationsarchive194]

@@EarthquakeSim Wow, awesome, cheers! I wish you good luck with your project!

[@romanroman1975]

Very well done videos, very educational! How close is the simulation to the real structural analytical methods?

[@notmrpopular0099]

Interesting video as always! I wonder if the next simulation could be a giant city park (eg, Central Park in the USA) or a mountainous village or town, that is some interesting ideas to think about!

[@EarthquakeSim]

I was literally thinking of building a city park next ❤️

[@dancingwiththedogsdj]

I'm not sure if it's relevant or not, but I would think it could make a bigger impact than it might seem. Does the earthquake simulator or do most simulations take into account for the rotation of the earth? It seems like the masses involved, especially as height increases would be affected by the rotation especially anything after the initial vibration or wave from the earthquake, it seems it could add to cause a whiplash type motion with greater stresses involved, as well as torsional forces all adding to strain on the structure. Great video as always! 🍻🌎♥️🎶🕺

[@EarthquakeSim]

Your comment made my day! I’m happy to see that you’re thinking outside of the box. My simulator takes into account many things but not earth rotation🙂 it would be cool to experiment different scenarios

[@dancingwiththedogsdj]

@@EarthquakeSim Wouldn't it possibly be a pretty significant impact on the stresses, especially at joints like I mentioned? That much shifting mass is rather resistant to abrupt changes of any kind and obviously isn't picky on what gets in the way! It was the twisting motion as the structure collapsed that made me think about rotation even though I am pretty sure it was more just the spiral elements within the structure that caused that. Have a wonderful day! You made mine as well. Thank you, kindly! 🌎♥️🎶🕺 P.S. - I don't consider it thinking outside of the box. I never think of there being a box in the first place. I mean, if you wanted me to keep a leash on this brain power you should have said so! LMAO 🤪😉🙃😁

[@dancingwiththedogsdj]

@@EarthquakeSim What about adding to your program a way to optimize the design in various ways to optimize the best vs cost so that maybe you could find cost effective ways to improve existing structures and show that small changes might increase survivability in most real world or extreme cases. Maybe have some A.I. integration to assist either designing the program itself or somewhere within optimization process. Seems doable. 🍻🌎♥️🎶🕺

[@aSASa45454]

earths rotation would not affect the results

[@TheGreatRedCrown]

cool video

[@Pidgeon5211]

32k subs!?!? Well done 👍🏼

[@gabrielsalomavelazquez3888]

could you ad 3d motion of the ground? like it happens in Mexico City? Also something important is that the ground in Mexico doesnt move the same along the length and width of your foundation, but there happens differential displacement during the earthquakes, so no other column feels the same acceleration at a time.

[@solutionrevolution7221]

I feel there is still a component of earthquakes that is not being taken into consideration. the waves of force not only displace the earth side to side but also it displaces it vertically which changes all forces being applied to this. Also geology, what type of geology as soil type and mass can affect how the waves travel through the quake. This can all have a big difference in how the building would survive. Building on soft sediment would not survive as well as building on more compact soil, a rock foundation would react differently as well. So now because we are aware of these things when building every building is built based on geology.

[@EarthquakeSim]

You are right about that!! If you look carefully at the higher intensities XI and XII you can see the vertical movement better☺️

[@user-tv6ew8fi5m]

What game did you use to do this? I really like the simulations and I want to experiment for my self.

[@lamandula85]

It would be cool to see the buildings undergo heavy damage (with cracks, tilting of columns, falling of walls etc.) at the degrees before the collapse.

[@JoshuaRalisay-uc4ok]

The Wood Building Must Be Survived Too If There's No Heavier Object Inside And With Movable Object Too At Its Base

[@JoshuaRalisay-uc4ok]

The Steel Building Must Be Survived All Of This If With Something Movable Around Its Base
