Earthquake-Resistant Construction

Earthquake-resistant construction involves designing and building structures to withstand seismic forces and minimize damage during an earthquake. This is achieved through specialized engineering techniques such as flexible materials, reinforced frameworks, shock Absorbers, base isolators, and reinforced foundations. These features help absorb and dissipate the energy from seismic waves, preventing structural failure and protecting occupants. The goal is to ensure buildings remain safe, stable, and functional after an earthquake, reducing injuries, fatalities, and property loss. Proper planning and adherence to construction codes are essential for creating resilient structures capable of enduring earthquake forces.
