1. In a recent quake, peak ground acceleration reached 4.4 per cent of gravity at a base-isolated building built by the Ohbayashi Corporation.
2. So if the period of a quake's main vibrations are 0.5 seconds, five-storey structures will be particularly vulnerable.
3. In a 1966 quake, the ground displaced 3 to 6 metres.
4. Not until 28 February 1990, however, did the structure experience a large quake, when one of 5.5 magnitude struck just 10 kilometres away.
5. The Loma Prieta earthquake of 17 October 1989 in San Francisco reached a magnitude of 7.1 on the Richter scale and killed 62 people; the 1988 quake in Armenia, with a magnitude of 6.7, killed about 25 000.
6. According to calculations by Edmund Booth, an earthquake specialist with Ove Arup and Partners, a large firm of consulting engineers based in London, the soft clay under Mexico City "tuned" the period of the quake's ground motion to something near a pure sine wave with a period of 2 seconds.
7. International: Roman "quake" shakes Europe
8. The most powerful vibrations from a quake range from 0.5 hertz to about 5 hertz.
9. Even buildings whose shorter periodicity put them out of the vulnerable category suffered; the lengthy shaking made them progressively less brittle, in effect lengthening their period until they vibrated in resonance with the quake, at which point many began to collapse.
10. The devastation in the city's Lake Zone, about 400 kilometres from the epicentre, was surprising even for a quake of 8.1 magnitude.
11. During a quake, the bearings intercept, absorb and damp vibrations.
12. During the quake, the columns failed to damp the lateral motion of the building, and the top-heavy houses swayed and collapsed.
13. As an engineer in California observed in the aftermath of the state's 1989 quake: "Earthquakes don't kill people.
