Question

what are the specifications of an earthquake proof building

Answer 1

One way to to make a simple structure more resistant to these lateral forces is to tie the walls, floor, roof, and foundations into a rigid box that holds together when shaken by a quake. engineers have constructed skyscrapers that float on systems of ball bearings, springs and padded cylinders.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer

Earthquake proof building has the follwoing specifications:

• It is constructed as per IS 456, the code of conduct given for building constructions by 'Indian Standard Institute'.

• Earthquake resistant constructions are performed as per IS 1893 which gives the criteria for earthquake resistant design structure.

• The constructions also follow the code IS 13920 which gives ductile detailing of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic forces.
