What provides the force necessary to start a building or bridge oscillating?

Asked by Sunny460

Answer (2)

Usually, the forces that start the oscillation of buildings are the wind and microearthquakes.

Buildings and bridges start oscillating due to external forces, primarily from wind and seismic activity. These forces can create conditions for resonance when their frequencies match the natural frequencies of the structures. This phenomenon highlights the critical need for careful design in architecture and engineering to mitigate risks.
