Earthquakes constitute one of the greatest hazards of life and property on the earth. The earthquake resistant construction is considered to be very important to mitigate their effects. Due to suddenness of their occurrence, they are least understood and most dreaded. This paper presents the brief essentials of earthquake resistant construction and a few techniques to improve the resistance of building and building materials to earthquake forces, economically.
