probably just fix it up with a bit of flexi tape
Though Russia has some norms about earthquake safety. Most buildings don't need it
Vast majority of russian territory is free of Earthquakes
then you look at places like japan and earthquake safety is on most buildings
Sure
You can't build just any building there
i mean japan is right on the faultline
yeah
then again, most russian buildings are made with pure stalinaum
only the strongest of capitalism can destroy them.
This one is made with earthquakes in mind
umm
Because Norway does have them
i think thats made more for snow
It is a "0 energy" home
Made to use as little energy as it can to stay warm in the coldest of times
Being raised off the ground like that reduces heat transfer to the soil by a lot
yeah and snow build up probably too
All buildings in Antarctica are on stilts too for this exact reason
Snow is an insulator to a certain degree
It does not allow the temperature to go below -4 if the layer is thick enough
Case-in-point: Igloo
yep
its not usually the cold either its the wind
House on stilts in cold places is mostly a thermal bridge reduction
As an added bonus you get a parking lot with a "roof" under the house too
Exactly: windchill is more dangerous than even -40°C
We should nuke the wind to stop global cooling
Wind can deprive you of your heat faster than cold air which is standing still
yeah man
its like a fridge in a way
a igloo is a pretty good counter to wind, the native people probably knew that too
I stayed in an ice hotel once in Quebec.
It was pretty ||cool||
that would be "cool"
It's gonna just be cold, or death. Ergo, igloos.
