This should have been up ages ago...

Okay so I know this was suppose to be up ages ago...
But here it is now:

Aim: To determine which type of structural design and building would better withstand the effects of an earthquake.

Hypothesis: The structure design that has a base isolator will withstand the most pressure until extremely high levels of strain from the earthquake.

Independent variable: The structural designs of the different buildings being tested

Dependent variable: The time taken for the different model buildings to collapse

Constants: The motion the earthquake simulator creates, The material used to build the buildings and The placement of each building on the earthquake simulator

  1. Dear Helena,
    My camera broke down. Well, it just ran out of batteries, but you know what I mean. So I had to run around my whole house looking for the charger, when I realized it was under my desk.
    FAIL/
    Anyways, I found your blog thingo, hehehe ;]
    I was gonna read all your posts, but like, they sound so pro and stuff, and I don't think I understand anything.
    Umm, yeah. Okay. I smell like detergent.
    Alright, I'll stop being random now.
    For some reason, I like leaving long comments on people's blogs. I should do my homework.
    Eh, bye! (:
