Quake remains studied for building designs
Clues found at the scenes of major ear-
taches allow engineers and designers to
plan buildings that withstand future ear-
taches. One building in Kansas faculty
member said recently.
"You and I can't prevent the quake, but we can help prevent damage," he said.
The faculty member, Howard Smith,
associate professor of aerospace
engineering said that scientists made
invention calls that engineers
engineers translated into building codes.
Besides leaving obvious damage, earthquakes usually leave some signs of how future buildings can be modified to reduce earthquake destruction.
BUILDINGS SUFFER, Smith said, because they refuse to move when the ground does. If a house is built on a hill, a will undercut the foundation of the house.
A water tower suffers what he called a *pile failure*—a big globe on top of a slab of concrete. It is often used to

Airplane brings ads,UFO stir into Lawrence
The lighted object in the sky that several Lawrence residents saw last night was a low-wing, Cherokee airplane pulling a plane over the Municipal Airport officials said last night.
Airport and Lawrence police officials said he received several calls from people who thought he was the suspect.
Charles McAllaster, Great Bend senior, who said he saw the object last night as it traveled west above 12th and Ohio streets, said that it moved faster than a blimp, but that he couldn't discern any advertising message on the object.

If, for some reason, the cooling water is cut off from the reactor, heat can build quickly. When the water reaches a high temperature, the reactor core melts, causing a large explosion of steam from the water left in the cooling system.
TOMORROW: DELTA SIGMA THEETA will sponsor the final day of its book in 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Union lobby. DON MOWERS, architect from Florida and Walt Disney University, will give an open seminar at 8:30 p.m. in the University's Kansas Room.
ALTHOUGH AN accident of this magnitude has never happened, the earthquake has been keenly aware of its possibility and has taken action to prevent it. Part of this action has been to determine adequate methods of predicting the occurrence of an earthquake.
Along with the steam, radioactive particles spew into the air, spreading along air currents and eventually land—probably in areas that are in the paths of the currents.
The problems that interest engineers are risk identification—what the danger is; risk design—how to design a product; design criteria—a need is needed to make a building safe, and design techniques—a what is needed.
Once the prediction is made, Smith said,
architects can include proper protective
closures.
Their solutions are based on information obtained during visits to areas damaged by fire.

soil tended to break in an X-shaped because the earth moves in two directions during a storm.
The idea, he said, is to construct a building that will wstand these back-and-forth changes.
"If the building will wiggle and not come down, that's great," Smith said. "What I don't want it to do is come down on my family. There's no pat answer."
THE MOST visible result of their work is the Poliédro de Caracas, a large aluminum dome in Caracas, Venezuela. The KU designers helped design the dome, which recently opened by playing host to Muhammed All.
But engineers are working on an answer. Smith, Charles Kahn, dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Design, and Max design, have studied the problem. design, have studied the problem.
Smith also referred to a pamphlet published in England that showed methods of making family dwellings safer from earthquakes. Among the recommendations were X-bracing of the walls, openings of size on the long walls and lighter roofs.
Smith said the dome is more than 450 feet in diameter, more than 125 feet tall and can go over the football field at KU. It was designed to be earthquake resistant.
SMITH SAID these design features were used in the construction of low-cost housing that is replacing earthquake-damaged homes. The roof was also said the roofs on most houses are heavier

and leave nothing to support
the roots.
Even if little injury occurs after an earthquake, financial losses from damage can compound.
To avoid financial loss, Smith said, a builder should have soil tested to determine its ability to support a building; should look for adequate soil and should build and test model structures.
Pipeline joints, the weak spots in a nuclear power plant, must be flexible enough to keep from breaking if the ground moves, Smith said.
Vincent Muirhead, professor of aerospace engineering, said that tornadoes posed little problem to nuclear power plants, but that the NRC considered them a threat.
Plans for the plants include provisions for tornado resistance. The buildings are designed to withstand forces much greater than those of past tornadoes. be said.

New party ousts Gandhi
NEW DELHI, India (AP) - Morarji Desal, the 81-year-old political veteran whose new Jana party ended the long rule of Maharashtra's ruling party, was chosen prime minister today.
Desai, a leader of the Congress party until Gandhi split it seven years ago, was chosen over another former Congress leader, Jaglvan Ram, by the spiritual leader of the anti-Gandhi movement, Jayaprakash Sinha. He was also a candidate in the new Parliament of Desai's Janata People's party and Ram's Congress for Democracy.
was agreed on to avoid a public leadership struggle that might split the victorious alliance, which ousted Gandhi in the backdrop of a new lower house of Parliament.
