Abstract
Increasing urbanization has given boost to the building industries and different types of buildings are being designed by engineers and architectures with innovative concepts and enhanced features. However it is observed in many cases that the aspect of earthquake resistance of building has been ignored.
Building have great effect of earthquake during their entire life. Therefore adoption of earthquake resistant building is necessary for ensuring the development. Earthquake resistant building is a practice of increasing life of building through better planning, reinforcement by the use of earthquake resistant materials. By adopting earthquake resistant building we can’t only avoid the economical loss but also loss of the precious lives.
