After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994,earthquake scientists had good news to report:The damage and death toll could have been much worse.
More than 60 people died in this earthquake.By comparison,an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.
Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m.on a holiday,when traffic was light on the city's highways.In addition,changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city's buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.
Despite the good news,civil engineers aren't resting on their successes.Pinned to their drawing boards are blue prints for improved quake-resistant buildings.The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.
In the past,making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials,such as steel and wood,that bend without breaking.Later,people tried to lift a building off its foundation,and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations.The most recent 5 designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel support.Called smart buildings,the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake's vibrations.When the ground shakes and the building tips forward,the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.
The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.However,that would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.

强烈地震后,在1994年的那次震撼洛杉矶,地震科学家们报告好消息：损伤和死亡的人数可能会比现在糟糕得多.
超过60人死于这次地震.相比之下,类似强度的地震,震撼美国声称在1988年2.5万灾民.
受伤和死亡人数相对较少,因为在洛杉矶的地震发生在上午4:31假期,交通是在城市的公路光.此外,改变了在洛杉矶的建筑法规在过去20年加强了城市的建筑和公路,使他们更能抵抗地震.
尽管这个好消息,土木工程师不会满足于他们的成功.寄托了自己的绘图板的蓝图,以提高地震之建筑物.新的设计应给予更大的安全性城市,经常发生地震.
在过去,决策结构抗震性意味着坚定而又灵活的材料,如钢材,木材,那弯曲而不破裂.后来,人们试图解除了它的基础建设,并插入橡胶之间的建筑物和地基钢铁以减少地表震动的影响.最近5设计给建筑物的大脑以及混凝土和钢的支持.所谓智能建筑,结构响应像活生物体对地震的震动.在地面震动和建筑提示着,电脑会迫使建设,在相反的方向转变.
新的智能结构可能非常昂贵的建设.不过,这将挽救许多生命,将不太可能在地震损坏.
