absorb earthquake forces without cracking or disconnecting.

Foundation

Earthquake shock waves are transmitted through the ground and foundation before being transmit- ted up into the building structure. Therefore, a weak or poorly can- nected foundation may fai] first and result in severe damage to the rest of the building.

How the building is secured 10 the foundation is a critical consid- eration, Picture how the earthquake works: The ground shakes from side to side and perhaps up and down. The foundation. buried in the ground, will move with the ground, The building resting on it. on the other hand will try to stay put. Therefore, unless the building is secured to the foundation well, itis likely to move independently of the foundation and perhaps Mide off or move with damaging results.

It is critical. therefore, that the building be bolted securely to the foundation.

This means that the building's sill plate must be adequately secured to both the concrete foun- dation wall or pad and alse to the support Studs or Maer joists above. (An upcoming Quake Tips colunin

Design. Materials and Workmanship

Municipal building mspeetien ean ensure that building code requirements are met in design. materials and workmanship. This applies only to new construction and therefore there are Hkely to be many older buildings that will net be as resistant to earthquakes as newer ones.

Past earthquakes in California and elsewhere have shown the Tesult of poor design. materials and workmanship -- unfortunatels with tragic results in some cases.

Building owners and hameown- ers should be aware that the build- Ing code is a MpIMUM requirement for earthquake resistanee, and that additional precautions in design. niaterials, eto. wu) he needed to minimize costly damage signitt- cantly,

Some of this work can be done as retrofit repairs and upgrading to existing buildings, but obviously much of this work ty far cheaper it incerporated inte inital design

Future Quake Tips columns will identify some of these measures.

The nest Quake Tips cofumn will discuss the various types of buildings and how they might respond to earthquake shaking.
