The Effects of Seismic Waves on Buildings

The heavier this building, the more it doesn't want to move. So there shifts over really quickly and do the inertia of the building is saying, I'd like to stay over here for a little bit longer. A nice, really light building isn't going to feel the effects quite as much. But I mean, it might not be as stiff. Then there's also a component of stiffness here. Depending on the stiffness of your building, it's going to parallel or let's see, it'sGoing to feel the frequency of the ground vibration differently. The closer the stiffness of the building  is to the frequency ofthe ground vibration, the more of that energy is going to be
