AI-generated Abstract

This paper discusses the fundamental principles of earthquake-resistant design for buildings. It emphasizes the importance of structural integrity and the necessity of appropriate materials and construction practices to enhance resilience against seismic forces. Key recommendations include the integration of resisting elements throughout the structure, careful site selection considering ground stability, and the need for fire-resistant materials due to potential hazards accompanying earthquakes.
