Earthquakes are increasingly becoming an important factor to consider when it comes to construction,even in non-earthquake prone areas.After all,it’s better to be safe than sorry.As a general rule of thumb,the first thing to do to reduce earthquake disasters is to prevent building collapse. Hence, seismic retrofitting for existing structures that were originally designed with inadequate and old seismic codes is key.Other approaches include structural system modification, jacketing,base isolation and fibre wrapping.
