Slides of Earthquake-Resistant Buildings

This document discusses earthquake resistant buildings and their importance. It begins with an introduction and contents section that outlines failures of buildings, construction techniques, design, advanced methods, benefits, and a conclusion. Specific techniques are discussed like reinforced concrete shear walls and base isolation to resist seismic forces. Examples of some of the world's most earthquake resistant skyscrapers are provided like the Torre Mayor in Mexico and Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The benefits of constructing earthquake proof buildings are outlined as reducing property damage, injuries, and loss of life during quakes. The conclusion calls for more awareness programs and stricter building codes to require earthquake resistance in all structures.

BENEFITS:
The benefits of construction earthquake
resistant buildings are the savings in
property damage, injuries and lives, which
accrue in the event of an earthquake.

CONCLUSION:
Statewide awareness progammes have to
be conducted by fully exploiting the
advancement in the information
technology.
Urgent steps are required to be taken to
make the codal provisions regarding
earthquake resistant construction
undebatable.
