Venezuelan Quake's Hidden Cause
The double earthquake in Venezuela caused widespread destruction, resulting in the deaths of over 1,700 people and injuries to five thousand others. Hundreds of buildings were either destroyed or severely damaged. Experts revealed that the building collapses were not solely due to the strength of the earthquake but also factors such as the age, design, and poor quality of the structures. Old and weaker buildings were more prone to collapsing, while modern buildings designed according to seismic resistance standards demonstrated greater resilience. Assessment efforts are focused on determining the safety of structures and whether they can be repaired or need to be demolished to ensure the safety of residents. There is also an emphasis on the importance of continued reinforcement of old infrastructure.
