Construction Materials: G-Force Comparison!

Here's 6 construction materials tested for different simulated earthquakes! Do you live in a seismically active country? Let's start a conversation below!

I hope my simulations will educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards and create more curiosity about Earth Science in general. I do also hope that my videos will inspire a future generation of amazing architects, engineers and scientists! We all need to peacefully work together to make this world a better place. :)
My goal is to show people around the world the effects of different earthquake shaking levels on various buildings and structures.
These simulations along with my piano music (Spotify/KZbin: open.spotify.com/artist/1hFDa... ) are part of my lifelong project called "In Terra Pax" that aims to bring financial and emotional support to victims affected by earthquakes around the world.

Did those bricks have binders between them or were they loose-stacked? If bound, what simulated strength was it - mortar, cement, lime-mortar?

If I'm being completely honest i have no experience in those fields but from what i saw it looks like they forgot the cement. The brick building crumbled down faster than my hopes and dreams

Pretty sure there is nothing between the bricks, they are just loose stacked, judging by how the wall barely falls in chunks, more like individual bricks

[@sambeaumont395]

Surely the internal structure of the building, as well as its materials has an impact on the building staying up or not. In your example the brick cladding collapsed but not the tower to begin with, then the building collapsed potentially in part due to no longer having the cladding. Also like to see Laminated wood vs Wooden comparison. Seems a lot of building going down that path these days.

[@ivanos_95]

This may be the case with new buildings, constructed by the cheapest methods, but when we add time, and other disasters, or compare with the advanced methods, then stone/concrete-bricks are the first materials which are passing the test of time, even in the seismic zones, and unreinforced-concrete comes second, especially in the seismic zones, while buildings constructed with steel and wood are always the most exposed to degradation.

It is interesting. But, Not all buildings are built equally. So, there are bound to be some faults maybe. Like a lvl 6/Tier 6 earthquake maybe taking down a Steel building. Or a Mud or Brick Building Surviving and Still standing a Lvl 10/Tier 10 Earthquake. it is all Possible, it is all comes down to quality of Construction and Material. Not just Testing the Simulated earthquake themselves. But, Tested For Real in Real EarthQuakes.
