NO

• Propping a dilapidated cantilever slab with a bamboo stick is not the right thing to do.

• The slab should be inspected by a qualified structural engineer to assess its condition and determine the appropriate course of action.

• Propping the slab with a bamboo stick is a temporary and potentially dangerous solution that does not address the underlying structural issues.

• The slab may require repairs or reinforcement to ensure its stability and prolong its life.

• The shape of a building affects its EQ response as it determines the distribution of forces during an earthquake.

• Buildings with irregular shapes are more susceptible to structural damage.

• Mass distribution influences the building's natural frequency and its ability to dissipate seismic energy.

• Stiffness distribution affects the distribution of forces and the building's overall response to ground motion.

• Buildings with concentrated stiffness in certain areas may experience loc...read more
