RE S O NATOR M ACH IN E SEISMIC DESIGN Earthquake and Buildings Experiment

REPORT With the experimentation, it is seen that resonance mainly related with height of the building and its mass. If the building’s height is bigger, the period will be longer, and when the eartquake’s period is long, the probability of resonance increases. On the other hand, resonance frequency could be changed with mass. If a mass is placed on the building which is resonating, its frequency is going to change. In addition, when the mass increases, the period of the building is going to be longer.
