    If a building foundation sits on soft or filled-in soil, the whole building may fail in an earthquake regardless of the advanced engineering techniques employed. Assuming, however that the soil beneath a structure is firm and solid, engineers can greatly improve how the building foundation system will respond to seismic waves.

    Another solution refers to base isolation which involves floating a building above its foundation on a system of bearings, springs or padded cylinders.

    Vena contracta is the point in a fluid stream where the diameter of the stream is the least and fluid velocity is at its maximum, such as in the case of the stream issuing out of a nozzle. It is a place where cross section area is minimum.

    Declination:

    I am providing more additional information about the declination, have a look.

    Here, I Attached a diagram of declination, through that we can clearly understand positive as well as negative declination.

    1. Whenever declination is towards the Eastwood direction then that declination is called positive declination.
    2. When a declination is going towards west word direction then it is called negative declination.

    True bearing is the sum of magnetic bearing plus declination.

    Thank you.
