PAC MAN Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yeah something was lost when the Broncos moved to the new Mile High Stadium especially the south stands so that remains to be seen with Hayward Field. Given the newfound popularity that timber construction has these days in the Pacific Northwest (from what I read online) especially the new U of Idaho basketball arena, I'm sure that will find its way into more Pac-12 facilities at UW, WSU, UO, and OSU. Perhaps the Beavers will use timber to actually finish the other half of that stadium (feel better Duck fans? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scscsc89 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I’m just wondering if they left a hollow tunnel buried under the ground or inside the infrastructure — doesn’t seem like a good idea in earthquake country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read on the Boring Company website, tunnels are surprisingly resistant to earthquakes, although that may not apply in this case. The website doesn't live up to its name. https://www.boringcompany.com/ Tunnels, when designed properly, are known to be one of the safest places to be during an earthquake. From a structural safety standpoint, the tunnel moves uniformly with the ground, in contrast to surface structures. Additionally, a large amount of earthquake damage is caused by falling debris, which does not apply inside tunnels. Some examples: 1994 Northridge Earthquake: no damage to LA Subway tunnels 1989 Loma Prieta (Northern California) Earthquake: no damage to tunnels, which were then used to transport rescue personnel 1985 Mexico City Earthquake: no damage to tunnels, which were then used to transport rescue personnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Perhaps UCLA's next stadium should be an underground tunnel & a big one at that..safer and no one might actually know there is one on campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
