Notes on the Guatemala Earthquakes, and Earthquake Proof Construction
Up to the present time, there has been no possibility of calculating earthquake strains for practical building purposes, due chiefly to the uncertain knowledge of physical conditions of brickwork and masonry in the destroyed or damaged structures. After the use of reinforced concrete had become general in Guatemala, the effect of earthquakes on such structures led to some conclusions as to the destructive power compared with the transverse load for which the damaged or undamaged buildings had been designed, but not much has been done, to the writer's knowledge, in the way of mathematical analysis.
