Earthquake Resistance Techniques

Summary of earthquake-resistant technology "Earthquakes can not kill people or cause damage, regardless of buildings" This is a well-known quotation to highlight the necessity of earthquake prevention measures and countermeasures, especially in buildings is. Like other natural disasters, we can not prevent an earthquake, but its effect and impact can be kept to a minimum. As with other natural disasters, there is the possibility of causing damage to earthquakes and damaging life and property. The two basic types of seismic waves are the cause of the earthquake (Chang, & Soong, 1992).

Structures can have all the appearance of stability, but only provide danger in case of earthquakes. The important fact is that for safety reasons earthquake-resistant building technology is as important as quality control and the use of appropriate materials. The earthquake contractor is registered in the state / province / country where the project is located (depending on the local regulations) and it needs to be secured and insured. Approximately 30% of the world's population is civilian living. Adobe Mad Brick is one of the oldest and most widely used building materials. The use of adobe has been traditionally very common in parts of the world's most vulnerable areas throughout Latin America, Africa, the Indian subcontinent and other parts of Asia, the Middle East and Southern Europe.

The seismic structure is a structure to protect the building against earthquakes. Although the structure can not be completely protected from damage due to the earthquake, the purpose of the earthquake-resistant building is to construct a structure superior to the traditional structure during the earthquake activity. According to building standards, the earthquake resistant structure is designed to withstand the largest earthquake that may occur at a particular probability at that location. This means that buildings need to be kept to a minimum as rare earths are lost. Function should be limited to more frequent functions
