Suspension Bridge: Earthquake Destruction (Simulated)

Watch my 3D suspension bridge being exposed to a 3G ground acceleration! The most destructive earthquakes on the planet have never recorded values bigger than 2G. This simulation represents an experiment of the software extension that I am using for Blender. (BCB by ‪@KaiKostack‬ )
---------------------------
I hope these 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. :)

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.

The BEST thing you can do to support my work is to watch this video for as long as possible without skipping ahead. This will make KZbin recommend this video to more people. Let's spread more earthquake awareness around the world, together! :)

[@BatGuanno]

Always do. 🙂

[@chrismoore1455]

Excellent! Is it possible that there will be less damage to the end sections of the suspension bridge if decoupled or isolated from the land abutment in senário 4/4?

[@wilcofaber9863]

I ll send this to my contacts. It s worth the watch

[@edwardjaymescamino6896]

Pls do more cities such as Oslo, New York, Paris, London, Moscow and Rio!

[@tsukirunsu]

side note, suspension bridges are built for huge gaps without needing a support pillar in between the main towers. regardless, great vid as usual!

[@techno7467]

Yeah I was wondering about that too, though it looks like the bridge would have supported itself fine if the middle structure wasn't there

[@alexlongstaff2885]

@@techno7467yeah, the bridge actually did do that. So why that ugly support beam?

Please simulate an earthquake in a big city

[@EarthquakeSim]

I made a simulation like that

[@1bilgi.agacii]

@@EarthquakeSim but it's a bigger city. thanks for everything

[@wilcofaber9863]

​@@EarthquakeSimif they look on your channel they should find it. It s one of the newer

[@zeljkocgguucljfkdmbosnjak5243]

Earthquake Sim i Have a suggestion You should have a team of editors It would help make videos faster

[@TheRealLink]

Even if BCB isn't perfect, it helps show that suspension bridges are more robust than one would think from their thin members. Notes beyond Test 1 would help put the differences of wave type, intensity, etc. into relation on your MMI header images IMO! Maybe they're all 3G / 3G+ but not sure what makes Tests 2, 3, and 4, different. Keep up the excellent work!

[@bugsgaming1234]

Woah, I can’t believe it! Pls make Times Square, 9.3 Magnitude Earthquake.

[@hsecornel]

Wait alot of these are only a couple minutes ago?!

[@EarthquakeSim]

yes all these comments :)

[@SupersuMC]

Embrace your inner Hollywood and do the Golden Gate Bridge.

[@NistkastenLivestream]

Why that bridge have a additional beam at the middle? I never saw a bridge with that weird thing, but just nice to watch and i always like the non-destructable trees 😁

[@EarthquakeSim]

check the Bay Area bridge it has the same thing :)

[@PopsicleGamesRoblox]

Sick vid as always my man! Keep up the good work! Btw how long does it take to make a vid like this? (Just curious)

[@pearlescentlune]

this is so cool! it would be helpful to add a smaller structure like a building here nearby to help us grasp the scale and damage difference between smaller and bigger structures!

[@EarthquakeSim]

you are very right about that!! I can remake this simulation and add some buildings

[@wilcofaber9863]

​@EarthquakewSim would be fun to see it again. Can you put motorcycles in the traffic? I drive one

[@arthurpontomota]

Great idea!!!

[@BatGuanno]

Hi, love your vids. Keep them coming. 🙂

[@EarthquakeSim]

thank you friend!

[@Ben_Knutson]

I love the addition of semis! Added a nice touch!

[@rockinchimp]

Should do an aftershock video where a structure survives a major earthquake but will it survive the aftershocks that proceed it?

[@hsecornel]

Lol 300th view- Wait no 286th.

[@EarthquakeSim]

haha! KZbin must know how to count for sure :D

[@vahvahdisco]

It’s a good job it’s Winter and your lake has frozen over as the cars hitting it didn’t sink ! LOL 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@Bluesky12566]

Sorry i dont watch your video because im busy all day😢

[@WilliamMacy-l8l]

Is biggg!

2:21 thats a suspension bridge

[@santiagodemarco547]

I dont understand the 4 scenario?. Which is the mean?.

[@theboxgoblin9981]

really cool simulation. I'm just curious if it would be possible make the road angled slightly like an arch to cancel out the sagging, that way it could stand better without the middle pilar.

[@tottalyharryitcron6204]

Is it me or did the cars bounce because of the cables

[@WilliamMacy-l8l]

Is starting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tunahanbetin]

BROOO.... JUMPING CARS?!!!

[@cassidytoysnhk]

Thank you for simulation!:)

[@EarthquakeSim]

you are very welcome! 3G!! almost 3.17 :)

[@kusagaming-7823]

Nice Simulation

[@EarthquakeSim]

thanks for watching!

[@Oyguuyuy]

Nice

[@WilliamMacy-l8l]

I like it!

[@40308FGD]

it looks like the Russian Bridge in Vladivostok or Bolsheokhtinsky Bridge in St. Petersburg 10/10 +like 😊

[@mythicplays_yt]

please make a 10G(or 5G) simulation

[@santiagodemarco547]

Dont exist in our planet. It would be like a F1 aceleration.

[@baurdavid6924]

How do you know?

[@wilcofaber9863]

I think if an megatrust earthquake is right beneath you maybe 3G is possible but 2 is often indeed the max

[@wilcofaber9863]

Beautiful!!! This bridge reminds me on denmark. It has 3 of such bridges. The biggest I ve crossed by train one time.

[@aileenrose3208]

is this an bridge in thailand or its inspired by the bridge?

[@CalebHerscher7155]

Scenario 2 of 4 is the most interesting and realistic

[@wilcofaber9863]

The truck in the 4/4 jumped 8 m lol

[@michelefritchie6198]

those semis bouncing up and down are awesome. They must not have a load. The cars falling off the bridge into the the water--that's gotta be pretty hard water for them not to sink. ;)

[@alexanderberesnev330]

3/4 structure resonance or 4/4 weaker?

[@doctorlettuce]

This has to be one of your most advanced experiments yet! Amazing job!
