Earthquakes are ubiquitous. This book attempts to help you understand how to protect your life and the lives of your loved ones by helping you create a house that can withstand earthquakes. This is an educational book written for technical students of my college. The content is based on the syllabus followed in our region and the codes followed are Indian standard codes.If you are a reader from outside India, you will have to refer the code of your country. However, I have attempted to write it in a way that even a person from across the world, without a technical background, can understand the basic concept and the ideas behind the construction of an earthquake resistant house. How successful I am is for you readers to decide.
