Question

Q
Manish lives in an earthquake prone area. His parents are planning to construct a house.
Which of the following is a requirement while constructing an earthquake-resistant home?
N
O Roof should be constructed with light weighted materials.
O Foundation of the house should be built on loose sandy or clayey soil.
O Bricks and stones should be used in abundance while constructing the house.
Heavy objects, shelves, decorative items should be fixed near the bed in the bedroom.​

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION A: The Roof should be constructed with light-weighted materials

• Structures made of brick and concrete are brittle and absorb little energy.
• As a result, even minor earthquakes can be dangerous.
• Steel-reinforced concrete structures, on the other hand, perform significantly better due to the material's enhanced flexibility.
• High ductility, or the ability to withstand massive deformations and strain, is required for building material to withstand stress and vibration.
• Structural steel, a type of steel that bends without breaking and is available in a variety of shapes, is extensively used in modern construction.
• Due to its enormous strength and light structure, wood is an extremely ductile material.
