How can we make buildings earthquake-proof? The Role of Earthquake Engineering

Sergio Reyes Arriagada, doctoral student D-BAUG, ETH

How do engineers design and construct buildings that can withstand earthquakes? Sergio Reyes Arriagada from Chile provides an exciting look at the science behind earthquakes and modern technologies that reduce the impact of earthquakes on communities. You will learn about the causes and types of earthquakes, their effects on structures and the environment, as well as early warning systems and innovative earthquake protection technologies.
