Scenarios about 'seismic engineering'
Seismic engineering is the specialized field focused on designing structures to withstand earthquake forces and ground movements. This discipline combines civil engineering, geology, and physics to develop building techniques, materials, and standards that minimize damage and protect human life during seismic events. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to seismic engineering could dramatically alter the development of cities in earthquake-prone regions and the outcomes of major historical tremors.
What If The 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake Never Occurred?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the devastating 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake never struck the San Francisco Bay Area, potentially changing the region's development, infrastructure, and earthquake preparedness culture.
