Very important word used by Pandu Ranga Rao. Differential settlement. A key word which is known to those who belong to civil engineering field. Would really love to know more about sandbox technology. There is one extra ingredient used along with sand in that box which is only to known to ancients. Would really love to know from those who hails from the same region and who's grandparents are still alive and it would be really great to listen from them that this was the extra ingredient Along with sand. These things travel mouth to mouth from one generation to other. Also japanese use the analogous technology now a days to prevent the tall structures from earth quakes. Like they use the hydraulic jacks which will absorb the devastating earthquake waves especially the s-wave and love waves. Modern infrastructure uses huge damps to dampen the seismic waves. The cementing material is also important which holds the large stones together. the forts built in Maharashtra in the sea like murud janjira or Sindhudurg, the locals say that there were three ingredients which made these structures so strong that even 700 years Of continuous hammering of tides has not been able to take off the cement yet. The ingredients were lime, crushed powder of shells found in coastal regions and also jaggery was the key ingredient as per some myths. If anyone can tell me about the sandbox technology and cementing material will add more to knowledge. Thanks to those who read till this point.
