About this document
Pombaline Cage: Europe by Ana Luiza O Campos is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Pombaline Cage, developed after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, is an innovative anti-seismic wooden structure designed to enhance building flexibility and resilience against seismic forces. This system, characterized by its unique design inspired by naval construction, played a crucial role in the reconstruction of Lisbon and laid the groundwork for modern seismic engineering in Europe. The study emphasizes the importance of flexibility over rigidity in building design to improve seismic performance.
