00:00During a seismic event, the ground beneath the hospital shifts violently as massive tectonic
00:05fault energy releases. How can a multi-story concrete medical center survive without snapping
00:11its vital utility lines into pieces? Common Sense says rigid steel anchors should lock the
00:17foundation firmly to bedrock, but that strategy shatters instantly. During a seismic event,
00:23massive tectonic energy releases as the ground accelerates violently while the structure isolates
