INTRODUCTION
Every year 100000 or more earthquakes that can be felt by people occur worldwide.
The number of lives lost and the amount of economic losses that result from an earthquake
depend on the size, depth and location of the earthquake, the intensity of the ground shaking and
related effects of damage of building.
Also no structure on the planet can be constructed 100% earthquake proof; only its resistance to
earthquake can be increased.
WHAT IS EARTHQUAKE?
 Earthquake is the phenomenon where there is sudden release of extreme energy from the earth
crust resulting in shaking and displacement of the ground along with creation of seismic
waves.
It triggers tsunami, landslides and occasionally volcanic eruptions.
In strong earthquake the ground shakes violently and results in collapsing of buildings or sink
into the soil.
Rocks and soil may move downhill at a rapid rate and such landslides can bury houses and
people.
TYPES OF EARTHQUAKE

Tectonic Earthquakes

Volcanic Earthquakes

Explosion Earthquakes

Collapse Earthquakes
HAZARDS DUE TO EARTHQUAKE
Liquefaction of Soils
Ground Shaking
Surface Rupture
Landslides
Lateral Spreading
Shear Failure of Foundation
Settlements of Structures
Failure of Retaining Wall
Tsunamis And Seiches
5 KEYS TO DESIGN EARHQUAKE
RESISTANT BUILDING

An appropriate foundation

Seismic dampers

A drainage mechanism

Structural reinforcement

Material with adequate ductility
Seismic Dampers

Earthquake-resistant buildings also need features to help absorb shocks.People more commonly
refer to them as seismic dampers.
Engineers worked with NASA to develop damper systems for swing arms on its rockets in the
1960s.
Seismic dampers absorb destructive energy, protecting the building from sustaining it.
Generally, the larger the damper’s diameter, the more force it can handle.
TECHNIQUES TO RESIST
EARTHQUAKES
 Active & Passive System
 Shear wall
 Dampers
 Isolation
 Bracing
 Rollers
ACTIVE SYSTEM:
Active control systems are devices integrated with real-time processing evaluators for improved service
and safety.

PASSIVE SYSTEM:
Passive control systems are conventional devices to resist or absorb the energy produced during
Earthquake. For example: Viscous Dampers
SHEAR WALL
BRACING
BRACING
ISOLATION

 IS 4326, 1993, Indian Standard Code of Practice for Earthquake Resistant Design and
Construction of Buildings (2nd Revision)

Structures Subjected to Seismic Forces
CONCLUSION
 Earthquake risk arises mainly due to unsafe constructions.
For meaningful earthquake risk mitigation, the country has to embark on two initiatives in a
pre-decided time frame:
1. First to ensure that all new constructions must have earthquake resisting measures and
2. Second, the critically important existing buildings should be identified, assessed and
retrofitted as found necessary.
