Eiffel Tower Vs. 2 Mega Earthquakes Simulation

[@EarthquakeSim]

In this episode we are traveling to Paris, France! Making this simulation took me 50 hours of constant work. The BEST thing you can do for me 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 and make a positive difference, together! :)

[@Thebrickestbrick]

That’s illegal in france

[@edwardjaymescamino6896]

can u do Moscow Kremlin , Christ the Redeemer, Sagrada Familia and Statue of Liberty pls?

[@EarthquakeSim]

these are very good suggestions!!@@edwardjaymescamino6896

[@LegallyinsaneLoL]

If you haven’t already done it and I just haven’t seen it, could you do a small house simulation with mannequins taking cover in common spots taught for earthquakes? It could be useful for seeing what the best places to take cover in an earthquake are

[@TheRealLink]

Amazing how it partially survived 3G+ too due to Iron / Steel's flexibility. It seems like only a bit more leg reinforcement would be needed for it to survive that too! While the focus is on the tower of course, having a couple nearby lowrise buildings would've also helped put the shaking in better perspective I think. Great video!

[@EarthquakeSim]

I thought about that! The crane helped a little bit. The Eiffel Tower would be the equivalent of a 80 story building.

[@clairebell876]

3G-forces is as much as a rollercoaster and that pinned me to my seat (rollercoasters range from 2.5g-6g

[@EarthquakeSim]

@@clairebell876 you are right about rollercoasters!

[@alexanderberesnev330]

In fact, Gustave Eiffel was afraid of damage from the tower swinging during strong winds. So he added four huge movable caissons under the tower leg supports. This essentially acts as a proto-base-insulator. So the real tower should be better resist quake, than this simulation.

[@alanmalan3819]

Can he show simulation of russian drone and supersonic missile attack to thins rasty post wile Macron with his wife are in a top of that

[@Coygon]

Wow, thanks for this! I don't know if you did it because of my suggestion a video or two ago, or if it's just a coincidence, but it sure was fascinating to see! I honestly wasn't sure how stable it would be; it's a very well-built structure, after all. On the other hand, it's also very old, and not exactly designed to withstand ground shaking. Thanks for your hard work!

[@IceLordCryo]

It's interesting to see how well the Tower managed to withstand the earthquake, despite not being designed to move at all. It didn't come crashing down in spectacular fashion like movies like to believe, the Tower just sort of melted in on itself. Very Cool!!

[@maxmcginley_vaskdothnrak]

I feel like you should go smaller-scale again, this is great and took a very long time to produce (I envy those who can work with code, I certainly never could) but as an architecture enthusiast I'm somewhat impatient for more of a historic Victorian town feel, reminiscent of northeastern cities. perhaps a wood-frame Queen-Anne style house or a brick Italianate or even a wood-frame farmhouse and barn with interior detail. That's not-to-mention that houses like that already exist in California, they're just not very common.

[@EarthquakeSim]

I honestly feel the same!! I will focus more on smaller scale structures👍

[@gwenp3450]

The crane in the background is a nice touch!

[@EarthquakeSim]

Glad you like it

[@Russell-h5q]

Maybe the Eiffel Tower will be upgraded in the future later with 3G forces, I think.

[@BlendedMozart]

Can you do the Seattle Space Needle next? It can withstand a 9.2 earthquake, but how much more velocity can it handle before crashing to the ground?

[@adili517]

Man, I wish 2024 was a year that is more aware of earthquakes.

[@EarthquakeSim]

we will make it :)

[@notmrpopular0099]

Loved the video per the usual! I wonder what the next simulation will be?!

[@EarthquakeSim]

I will make a community poll sool :)

[@paulbrower]

The Eiffel Tower is light, but with much structural redundancy. It is arguably about as pure a structure as anything could be.This is a testament to one of the greatest builders of all time, Gustave Eiffel. Little else would survive in Paris in a calamity that could take down this structure!

[@jokerace8227]

I suspect the wide stance of the four legs would help it resist the lateral forces better than most other structures in the area would tolerate.

[@campanaro_99]

How many objects was this? The collapse was epic, and you could see the main piers fail one by one in what is effectively an implosion.

[@vahvahdisco]

I’d like to see The Petronas Towers, The Burj Khalifa, The Whitehouse, CN Tower, Houses of Parliament, London City, Manchester - England. Would love to see what would happen to Liverpool in an earthquake/tsunami simulation as I’ve often dreamt of walking around Manchester-on-sea, because Liverpool has sunk and the coastline comes inland to my City of Manchester !

[@GaryHind701]

Northern France is no stranger to strong and powerful earthquakes, a M6.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Vendee region in 1799, two strong M5.5 & M5.4 magnitude earthquakes in the Channel island's (Jersey) back in July 1926 & Feb 1927, a distant large earthquake causing damage in Paris may not be that fanciful!

[@EarthquakeSim]

thanks for your feedback Gary! When did you discover my channel? I would love to hear your answer!

[@ExplodingConsole]

There was also the one that struck Lisbon in 1755. I'm sure they would have felt it in Paris. Not sure how strong it would have been at that distance though.

[@sungurhankaya1961]

​@@ExplodingConsolethey probably don't feel it, Richter barely reaches 7.7 aquitaine

[@lukasrentz3238]

The European Achive of Historical Earthquake Data (AHEAD) lists the 1799 Vendee Earthquake as 5.8 +/- 0.3 and was felt with Intensity 2-3 in Paris. The 1580 Dover Straits Earthquake (Mw 5.5 +/- 0.35) had Intensity 3-4 in Paris. The 1692 Belgian Ardennes Quake (Mw 5.8 +/- 0.35) reached Intensit 4 in Paris. These seem to be the strongest felt Quakes in Paris in the younger Past. Some Areas in the Western half of France and Areas along the Rhine and the Belgian Ardennes are able to have Magnitude 7 Quakes whch could produce possibly shaking up to VI in Paris. Very local, but probably weaker Quakes (i am not aware that we have hints that M6-7+ Quakes are possible in Paris) could end up having Intensity VI-VII (would be in the range of Mw 4.5-5.5). Sadly Quakes after 1899 aren´t included in AHEAD.

[@lukasrentz3238]

@@ExplodingConsole Sadly the European Achive of Historical Earthquake Data (AHEAD) doesn´t include Intensity Data outside of Portugal for the 1755 Quake. But the 1761 Lisbon Quake was felt with Intensiry 4-5 in Bordeaux and 2-3 in Amsterdam. Comparing both Quakes is very difficult though since neither Magnitude or causative Fault are known. And newer studies assume that the 1755 Lisbon Quake was not a 8.5-9 Quake but a ca. 8.0 Quake which ruptured several Fault offshore and onshore which lead to the Destruction of Lisbon. (Maybe comparable to the multi fault Quake in New Zealand in 2016).

[@RaffoVFX]

yess ;)

[@santiagodemarco547]

Wich is the estimate in Ritcher scsle to a 3 G force Earthquake?.

[@EarthquakeSim]

but you would need to be right on top of the fault rupture to get 3 G

[@santiagodemarco547]

@@EarthquakeSim it be a 10,5? Rotcher or more?.

[@santiagodemarco547]

Other question: If the Eiffel Tower was of titanium could resist a 4G fource acelerattion?.

[@BlendedMozart]

[@doctorlettuce]

Wow! Good thing Paris can't have these big of earthquakes! (I don't think they can, at least)

[@AmicusAdastra]

well actually in France we had pretty devastating and deadly earthquake that have already reached 7 so but the area of the earthquake is accurate cuz it's where some of them happened, the armorican fault line but a magnitude 10 earthquake isn't even possible on earth so it won't happen in France too

[@EarthquakeSim]

correct :) @@burritomensch1257

[@sungurhankaya1961]

Because the tower is rusting and instead of replacing the rusted part, they paint it again. and yes, even steel can collapse in the event of a design flaw, bad soil or an extremely large earthquake

There is no any fault which can produce eartquake above 6.0 in France

[@lukasrentz3238]

That is not true. Because France did have historic Quakes measuring above Magnitude 6 and we have identified Geologic Structures which are capable of Magnitude 7 Quakes, for example along the Rhine River. A quick search via Google Scholar brought me to a Study about a Fault they call Lourdes Fault which ruptured ca. 3000-4000 BCE capable for Magnitude 6.5-7.1 Quakes. The Fault remains active and was possibly behind the 1660 Bigorre Quake (Mw 6.1). A similar (Mw 5.9) happened 1750.
