Earthquake Building Simulator animated building sway and risk scoring

Earthquake Building Simulator helps you test how height, floor count, steel, concrete, wood, structure type, earthquake magnitude, and foundation condition change building sway and educational risk scores.

Built for classroom demos, safety discussions, and quick browser-based seismic comparisons.

Earthquake Building Simulator interactive tool

Start Earthquake Building Simulator here. Enter the building profile and ground condition, then watch the animated structure sway while the risk score and material comparison update.

Earthquake Building Simulator controls

Change building height, floors, material, structure type, earthquake magnitude, and foundation condition to see what drives the risk score.

    Earthquake Building Simulator quick guide

    Use this Earthquake Building Simulator guide to build a clean comparison and explain why risk changes.

    01

    Earthquake Building Simulator choose a building

    Start with a low-rise, tower, or soft-soil preset so Earthquake Building Simulator has a realistic baseline.

    • Use low-rise for basic material comparison
    • Use tall tower to see height effects

    02

    Earthquake Building Simulator change one variable

    Move magnitude, foundation, material, or structure type one at a time so the Earthquake Building Simulator result has a clear cause.

    • Soft soil increases shaking amplification
    • Bracing and shear walls lower the educational risk score

    Earthquake Building Simulator FAQ

    Fast answers before you use Earthquake Building Simulator for education, safety demos, or comparison.

    What does Earthquake Building Simulator calculate?

    Earthquake Building Simulator estimates an educational risk score, exaggerated sway amount, story height, damping index, and material comparison from height, floors, material, structure type, magnitude, and foundation condition.

    Why does foundation condition change Earthquake Building Simulator results?

    Soft soil and liquefaction-prone ground can amplify shaking and reduce support, so Earthquake Building Simulator raises risk when those foundation settings are selected.

    Can Earthquake Building Simulator tell whether a real building is safe?

    No. Earthquake Building Simulator is a browser-based educational model. Real seismic safety depends on code design, detailing, age, load paths, soil investigation, construction quality, and professional engineering review.
