Quiz

What technology is introduced for improving seismic resilience in timber structures? *

A) Traditional concrete cores exclusively used to resist lateral loads.

B) An advanced friction-based damper system that enhances ductility and allows for damage avoidance.

C) Exclusive use of steel reinforcements in all wooden structures to prevent seismic damage.

D) Elimination of all non-timber materials in seismic zones to ensure compliance with safety standards.

What challenge does the video highlight about the application of seismic solutions in timber construction? *

A) Timber cannot be used in seismic zones at all due to its inherent properties.

B) The difficulty of integrating timber with traditional building materials like steel and concrete.

C) Residual deformations in timber structures post-seismic events, despite using ductile connections.

D) The reluctance of engineers to adopt new technologies for timber despite proven benefits.

How does the seismic technology discussed contribute to sustainability in construction? *

A) By entirely replacing the need for any kind of structural reinforcements in buildings.

B) By using non-renewable materials to ensure long-term durability against seismic activities.

C) It enables the construction of taller wooden structures without considering environmental impacts.

D) Through its ability to ensure buildings are immediately operational after seismic events, minimizing repair and downtime.
