Construction of Buildings to Prepare for Earthquakes What structures are needed to prevent serious damage ?

Essential Structure Needed For Preparation Lateral Force Resisting Elements -Prepare buildings against wind and seismic forces Shear Walls Braced Frames Moment Resisting frames

Shear Walls Made Of: sheathed wood-frame walls Reinforced masonry Reinforced concrete

Braced Frames Concentric Frames - have diagonal braces allowing forces to act along one axis Eccentric Frames - Both axis of braces to resist force

Moment Resisting Frames Made of steel, masonry and concrete Beams and columns are bent for resistance of lateral forces Two types -Special (more resistant to seismic forces) -Ordinary

Prepare For Earthquake Home Preparation Checking for Home Hazards Essentials for Survival

Home Preparation Emergency Plan -Safe Places under heavy tables, insides of hallways and corners of rooms -Dangerous Places near windows or mirrors, under heavy objects that may fall on you and doorways.

Checking for Home Hazards Electrical Hazards Chemical Hazards Fire Hazards

Infrastructures Needed to Cope With Emergency Smoke detectors Fire extinguishers Installing Security Lights Extra Batteries Flashlights Radio Life support systems should be prepared
