 STRUCTURE OF EARTH
Earth - three layers - Crust, Mantle, Core.
Crust - surface of Earth, Mantle – second inner
part of the Earth, Core - most inner part of the
Earth.
EARTH:
DIVERGENT BOUNDIFFERENT BOUNDARIES - TECTONIC
FORCES INDUCES DARY, CONVERGENT, TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES.
TERMS OF EQ’S:
 Seismic Loading : Main cause of
Earthquakes

 Seismic Performance : Structure’s

ability - functions - safety and serviceability
- exposure - earthquake.

 Seismic Analysis : Major intellectual

tool – understand seismic performance of
structures.
Earthquakes affect RCC
structures too…

Slabs forces the beam

to bend with it when
horizontal forces act.
EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT
DESIGNS
 Design - but it is analysis of forces - buildings
due to loads acting on it.

 If a building is enough to resist the

earthquake, then such building is called
Earthquake resistant structure.

 Such design is called Earthquake resistant
