Abstract :

The Development Of New Codes For Earthquake-resistant Structures Has Made Possible To Guarantee A Better Performance Of Buildings, When They Are Subjected To Seismic Actions The Turf Of Seismic Activity Engineering Has Existed In Our Nation For Over 35 Years Now. Indian Earthquake Engineers Have Made Momentous Hand-outs To The Seismic Safety Of A Number Of Important Structures In The Country. However, As The Recent Earthquakes Have Shown, The Performance Of Normal Structures During Past Indian Earthquakes Has Been Less Satisfactory. This Is Mainly Due To The Lack Of Awareness Amongst Most Practicing Engineers Of The Special Provisions That Need To Be Followed In Earthquake G+7 Resistant Design And Thereafter In Construction. Earthquakes Compose One Of The Supreme Hazards Of Living And Assets On The Earth. Due To Abruptness Of Their Happening, They Are Least Understood And Most Dreaded. The Earthquake Resistant Construction Is Considered To Be Very Important To Mitigate Their Effects. This Paper Presents The Concise Prerequisites Of Earthquake Resistant Construction And A Few Techniques To Improve The Resistance Of Building And Building Materials To Earthquake Forces, Economically.
