What is Earthquake Resistance in Building Design about?
The document discusses how the configuration and layout of buildings affects their earthquake resistance. Irregular shapes in plan like L-shapes can cause torsional forces during earthquakes. Irregularities in elevation, like changes in stiffness or mass distribution with height, can also negatively impact earthquake performance. For better earthquake resistance, buildings should have compact, regular shapes in plan and elevation with continuous lateral load-resisting elements and uniform stiffness and mass
