Basic Principles to Design Earthquake Resistant Buildings

For a Structural Engineer, to design earthquake resistant design of any structure will require following basic principle to adopt in the design. During earthquake, as ground moves, building deflect due to whiplash effect. That is building deflect in a direction oppsite to the eartquake waves.Hence, force is induced in the structural elements in upper floors.… Continue reading Basic Principles to Design Earthquake Resistant Buildings
