Critical Infrastructure Resilience
Critical infrastructure resilience involves designing systems and networks to withstand and recover from disruptions caused by natural disasters, such as earthquakes. This includes both physical assets like buildings and transportation systems, as well as technological infrastructure like power grids and communication networks.
Earthquake Base Isolation Systems: Functionality and Critical Infrastructure Resilience
- The video How Earthquake Bearings Work from Practical Engineering, presented by Grady, delves into the critical role of earthquake-resistant design, particularly focusing on base isolation systems.
- It starts with an overview of the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles, which resulted in significant damage and loss.
- Base isolation technology is discussed as a key strategy to enhance resilience against seismic events.
