 Low-rise vs. Tall Buildings:
    What is Safer during
  Earthquake in Bangkok?


   Dr. Thiti Vacharasintopchai
     thitiv@{siu.ac.th, alumni.ait.ac.th}
                April 3, 2011
Outline
• What happens during Earthquake?
• Seismic Hazard Maps
   – PGA : Peak Ground Accelerations
• Newton’s Second Law
   – Total force applied on a body is equal to the time derivative of linear
     momentum of the body.
• Structural Dynamics
   – Vibrations, Natural Frequencies, Mode Shapes
• Typical Design of Low-rise vs. Tall Buildings
• The Bangkok Soft Clay
• Conclusion

                                                                               2
