INTRODUCTION An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. These produce surface waves, which cause vibration of the ground and as a result the super structure is collapsed.
4
SEISMIC FORCE Seismic Forces is generated due to Earthquake.
Earthquake causes shaking of the ground. So a building resting on it will experience motion at its base.

MAGNITUDE AND INTENSITY OF EARTHQUAKE
The Magnitude (M) is a quantitative measure of its strength in terms of energy released . INTENSITY The intensity of an earthquake is measured qualitatively in terms of damages caused by it at a particular location. In general, larger the earthquake, greater is the intensity. Magnitude of an earthquake is a measure of its size. While intensity is an indicator of the severity of shaking generated at a given location.

HAZARDS DUE TO EARTHQUAKE
Liquefaction of Soils Ground Shaking Surface Rupture Landslides Lateral Spreading Shear Failure of Foundation Settlements of Structures Failure of Retaining Wall Tsunamis

LIQUEFACTION OF SOIL Soil liquefaction describes a
phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.

EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT DESIGN
Objective of Earthquake-Resistant Design is to make such buildings that can resist effect of ground motion and would not collapse during the strong Earthquake. All the components of the structure and foundations are designed to resist inertia forces in addition to the normal forces. All the walls must be jointed properly, so that they can act together against the earthquake shaking at the time of seismic force transferring to the ground.
11
BASE ISOLATION METHOD The idea behind the Base Isolation is to detach (isolate) the building from the ground in such a way that earthquake motions are not transmitted up through the building, or at least greatly reduced. If a building is rested on flexible pads that offer resistance against lateral movements, then some effect of the ground shaking will be transferred to the building above. If the flexible pads are properly chosen, the forces induced by ground shaking can be a few times smaller than that experienced by the building built directly on ground.

SEISMIC DAMPERS Seismic Dampers are fixed in place of structural elements as diagonal braces. They absorb a part of seismic energy when it is transmitted through them. TYPES OF SEISMIC DAMPERS: a. Viscous Dampers Energy is absorbed by silicone-based fluid passing between piston-cylinder arrangement.

CONCLUSION Seismic base isolation method has proved to be a reliable method of earthquake resistant building. The success of this method is largely attributed to the development of isolation devices and proper planning. Adoptable isolation systems are required to be effective during a wide range of seismic events.
