We had a medium earthquake a few weeks
Ago but it felt pretty strong. I was at work and someone sent out an email that said “the earthquake felt stronger here because the building is on rollers” but everywhere I look the building is connected to the ground and there is a center courtyard inside our triangle shaped building that looks like a mound of earth. How can my building be on rollers?
In: Engineering
Fun fact: Halley research station in Antarctica is on actual rollers, because it’s built on a glacier and they need to move it inland every few years. So they made a building that can move, instead of constantly having to rebuild.
This is not connected to earthquakes just interesting.
