Earthquake Proof Structure Performance Task Earthquake Proof Structure Performance Task You have been hired as the structural engineer in charge of designing a new building of no more than 2 stories You must design and build a structure that is earthquake proof. This includes a construction diagram/sketch, a structural analysis, and a prototype that withstands an earthquake. Rubric Code: FXAA256 By LCCCSummer Ready to use Public Rubric Subject: Physics Type: Project Grade Levels: 9-12

Earthquake Proof Structure
	Meets 15 pts	Approaches 13 pts	Falls Far Below 11 pts
Construction Diagram	Meets • Very neat •Materials and measurements are clearly defined. • Most areas are understandable Drawn to scale	Approaches • Some areas appear incomplete • Some materials and measurements are hard to figure out • Scale inconsistencies	Falls Far Below • No attempt was made to be neat • Sketch was sloppy • Quite hard to follow • Not to scale
Structural Analysis	Meets Withstood structural test with no evidence of damage	Approaches •Some evidence of structural damage, stability of structure uncompromised.	Falls Far Below Building displayed considerable amount of structural damage. Building collapse
Prototype & Design	Meets •Creative design and use of materials. •Follows the structural guidelines. •Effort is evident and much time was taken to complete project.	Approaches •Somewhat creative design and use of materials. •Follows some of the structural guidelines. •Some effort is evident and some time was taken to complete project.	Falls Far Below •Lacks a creative design or use of materials. •Structural guidelines were ignored. •No effort was made to build a structure.
Materials managed	Meets • Student carefully used the materials provided, and did not exceed limits	Approaches • Student used the materials provided, but exceeded limits	Falls Far Below • Student did not regard the materials limits. Structure was unstable, or incomplete.
