	Misplaced Pages's content on earthquake engineering is currently a bit of a mess. I am going to try to clear it up (but it might take me a while). Earthquake engineering includes analysis and design. Currently there is a reasonably decent article on analysis, and several articles on design which all seem to push the same approach and one product in particular (]).

	I have created this as a separate article, and propose to merge several articles into this one so that there is one clear and concise article on earthquake engineering. The ] article can then remain as a more detailed article on analysis, which is probably the largest single topic.] (]) 10:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

	I propose to merge:

None are specifically designed to reduce earthquake loads. In event of an earthquake the pinnacle TMDs will be locked down, while the main mass is designed to be restrained by a snubber ring.

	into this article. The last three are in my opinion just adverts for particular products, and may be original research (so there is little to merge, but some of the content would be relevant when included with other available research and products). This is a big topic, covered very badly with several articles giving only a tiny view of the whole. The best thing to do is to start with a good overall article.

	In the case of vibration control - there is perhaps a good argument to keep a vibration control article, but it shouldn't be primarily about earthquake vibration as it currently is. Vibration is caused in machines, by pedestrians, cars, wind and all sorts of other causes. The vibration control article should be much more general, and the earthquake specifics merged into this article. ] (]) 10:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

	Article ''Earthquake engineering'' now contains all basic information from six (6) articles recommended for merging which should be redirected to the following sections and subsections of ''Earthquake engineering'':

	* Earthquake simulation to 2.2 Earthquake simulation
	* Vibration control to 3 Seismic vibration control
	* Earthquake Protector to 3.1 Earthquake protector

	It does not bother me much, but is there a reason for the list of "main objectives of earthquake engineering" in the into is presented in list form, rather than prose?

To-do list for Earthquake engineering: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2008-06-01

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Expand : *failure mode section to include different modes of failure in earthquakes
- design section to include soil stabilisation, base isolators, dampers etc.
- Merge : articles listed on talk page if no disagreements
- Verify : everything in article

Shock absorbing frame

Perhaps the shock absorbing frame built by Stanford + Illinois University may be mentioned; see http://news.stanford.edu/news/2009/august31/quake-shaking-design-090109.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.245.91.8 (talk) 15:10, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Tuned Mass Damper

The main tuned mass damper in Taipei 101 is designed for comfort under wind loads. There are also two additional tuned mass dampers in the pinnacle to reduce fatigue loading. None are specifically designed to reduce earthquake loads. In event of an earthquake the pinnacle TMDs will be locked down, while the main mass is designed to be restrained by a snubber ring. See this article by the designers. Muchado (talk) 03:09, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Bill Robinson

Bill Robinson, the inventor of Lead rubber bearing, passed away recently . I was surprised to see that he does not have a wikipedia page. He seems to fit the wikipedia notability criteria . If there is no oposition, I will create a page in a few days. Marcrr (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:01, 4 September 2011 (UTC).

I have created a draft page User:Marcrr/William Robinson (scientist). Feedback welcome. Marcrr (talk) 21:11, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect Hyperlink in "Seismic Vibration Control"

Under "Seismic Vibration Control" there is an unusual hyperlink in the second point describing the 3 methods of handling seismic waves. "- to disperse the wave energy between a wider range of frequencies;" Disperse is hyperlinked to another Misplaced Pages page discussing the South Indian Christian Rock-band "Disperse."

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Earthquake engineering. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
