Reflection:
In this project I learned that everybody has to work presciently to get the job done. There are times to slack
and times to be working. I will work on not getting off task by getting not getting of topic. I also learned that
when testing out new things, it can be difficult to be patient in the testing process. This project was a fun way
to learn new things and how to create new materials.
I feel like my group did a great job in preparing for the presentation. In someways we could of covered things
better than we did, but I feel like over all we did a pretty good job. We were very organized before our
presentation. We knew when we wanted to present and talk about each element of our project
Project:
For my creative engineering project we made an earthquake proof house. we used quake putty in our model
which you can only use on glasses, vases , and other object like those. For furniture you can use latches, blots,
and eye hooks. we simulated an earthquake on our house by using a shake table.This was a very fun, productive,
and a great learning experience for the future.
By using these materials you can prevent injuries and deaths from earthquakes. Houses made of concrete are more
likely to fall apart, if your house was made of wood, theirs a likely chance that your will not fall apart. If people
followed these precautions the economic damage due to earthquakes could go down my a significant amount. The
future of our economy has these damages bringing it down, it may not be the only one but it definitely has an effect
on it. If we got rid of this economic damage our economy could go back to normal.
When we created it we made two inch away side bars so that we can create a 20 foot land shift earthquake. This gave an equal shake to an earthquake on our house compared to a real house. If you look below you can see the side bars, the shake table, and our house.

Our interior of the house looked the same before and after the shake. if you take the same precautions in your house it will have to same effect.
