new technology! The new coating made of fiberglass can help the house to resist earthquakes!

British media said that brushing a paint can help the brick house to resist earthquakes. This coating is made of fiberglass and can improve the strength and elasticity of the house during an earthquake.

According to the British "New Scientist" weekly website reported on February 28, Yamamoto Kenji of the University of Tokyo in Japan and his colleagues invented a coating that can improve its elasticity. The coating is made from standard silicone acrylic coatings and fiberglass.

According to reports, this coating enhances the overall strength of the building and increases the ability to dissipate energy by bending rather than breaking.

The team found in the test that the paint would allow the brick house model built in a 1:4 ratio to withstand twice the vibration of the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake. According to the report, another house model without the coating was collapsed in a much weaker vibration.

Yamamoto’s team expects the cost of the paint to be £7 ($9.2) per square metre to £14. The cost of other options may be nine times higher.

Jason Ingham of the University of Auckland in New Zealand said that for developing countries, the coating should be attractive because the cost is a problem there.
