How Architectural Features Affect Buildings During Earthquakes?

Importance of Architectural Features

  • The behavior of a building during earthquakes depends critically on its overall shape, size and geometry, in addition to how the earthquake forces are carried to the ground.
  • Hence, at the planning stage itself, architects and structural engineers must work together to ensure that the unfavorable features are avoided and a good building configuration is chosen.

Well - I think this should be addressed in the project scope,maybe a paragraph should be there explaining what will be done to protect a structure from earthquakes. I think this propsal has to come from the stakeholders of the project, maybe at the least from the owner of the structure.
