如果把从研究工作中所吸取的教训应用于建筑设计上,那么,像不久前发生在墨西哥的地震灾害所造成的破坏就会较小些。为了这个目的,英国科学和工程学研究理事会(Britain’sScience and Engineering Research Council,简称 SERC)正着手建造一座大型地震模拟建筑。该模拟建筑正建造于英格兰西南部的布里斯托尔大学内,它是由一些压力吸扬器所操纵的一台三平方米的工作台组成,这些压力吸扬器可产生几个方向的振动,并由电子计算机进 If the lessons learned from research were applied to architectural design, the damage caused by the earthquake disaster in Mexico not long ago would be less. For this purpose, the UK’s Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) is working on a large-scale earthquake simulation building. The simulation building, which is being built at the University of Bristol in southwestern England, consists of a three-square-meter workbench operated by pressure-actuated suctioners that generate vibrations in several directions , And by the computer into
