ACTIVITY 2
Popoy playing the role of an architect wanting to build earthquake-resistant structures. Answer the
following questions.
1.What do you think is the reason why Popoy thought of building earthquake-proof houses?
I think the reason why Popoy thought of building an earthquake-proof house is for it to be
proof can manage to survive the sudden ground shaking that occurs during earthquakes, thereby
preventing possible hazards that will occur, structural damage and human deaths, injuries because
it is a built securely.
2. What are the possible hazards or dangers that can be caused by an earthquake?
The possible hazards or dangers that can be caused by an earthquake are damage to
infrastructures, physical injuries and death. Ground shaking, tsunamis, landslides, liquefaction,
3. Based from your previous learnings, what are the materials and structural features of an
earthquake-proof house?
structural features of an earthquake-proof house are wood, structural steel, and futuristic materials.
Also to reinforce the building’s structure, shear walls, cross braces, diaphragms and moment
resisting frames are needed. These materials are very important in constructing a building because
it will be a great help for us to minimize damages and injuries caused by an earthquake.
