Earthquake Engineering
Damage control refers to the strategies and techniques used to minimize or mitigate the negative effects of damage, particularly in structures subjected to seismic events. This concept emphasizes the importance of designing buildings and components that can withstand earthquakes, ensuring that any damage incurred is limited and manageable, thereby preserving life safety and reducing repair costs. It connects closely with the structural integrity of braced frames and the resilience of architectural components during seismic activities.
congrats on reading the definition of damage control. now let's actually learn it.
