Abstract
It has been said that “Earthquake don't kill people but buildings kill people”. By taking care to make the constructions earthquake proof, we cannot only reduce economic loss but also loss of precious lives. Major earthquakes in India have damaged or destroyed numerous buildings. By monitoring how buildings respond to earthquake and applying the knowledge gained engineers are improving the ability of structures to survive major earthquakes. Designing a building is always a challenge and that challenge is compounded when they are built in earthquake prone. As earth scientists learn more about ground motion during earthquakes and structural engineers. Use this information to stronger buildings that can wi thstand earthquakes, engineers must and should understand the stresses caused by shaking. Every time a strong earthquake occurs, the new information gathered enables engineers to refine and improve structural design and building codes. Such loss of life an d property can be reduced. Building codes provide the first line of defence against future earthquake damage and help to ensure public safety. Records of building response to earthquakes, especially those from structures that failed or damaged have led to many revisions and improvements in building codes. Earthquakes are of low permeability but high risk events .Awareness against earthquake is the need. We are the engineers to be blamed for such hazards.
