Earthquake Proof Alloy ?

Earthquake Proof Alloy ?

RE: Earthquake Proof Alloy ?

i think that's what they're talking about but perhaps with more strength (i'm not sure but it does sound like the stuff that's been around for a while)...and yes, i hope that i get a percentage of the costs to use the stuff. i won't make any plans to start looking for the stuff in the field for at least a few decades.

RE: Earthquake Proof Alloy ?

The next hurdle is developing concrete with the same properties.

RE: Earthquake Proof Alloy ?

The use of nitinol has been around for years.  If anyone had braces, then you had nitinol in your mouth!!! Its used in orthodontics regularly.  It will be interesting to see what will become of nitinol in the construction biz.
