    The 2001 Bhuj earthquake in India caused significant damage due to poor construction practices. Buildings collapsed due to the absence of lintel bands and poor quality materials, resulting in a lack of bonding between structural elements. Soft-story failures and floating columns also contributed to building collapse during the earthquake.
