They are natural disasters of a generally unpredictable nature. It is the shaking of earth due to the movement of earth's crust. A sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rocks beneath the earth surface. Structures should not be brittle or collapse suddenly. Rather, they should be tough, able to deflect or deform a considerable amount. Resisting elements, such as bracing or shear walls, must be provided evenly throughout the building, in both directions side-to-side, as well as top to bottom.
