on pile foundations

Forest and trees
• The forests are really useful to stop landslides but buildings
should not be constructed close to any big tree, as there
might be a possibility of falling of the trees during
earthquake.
• The distance between tree and house should preferably be
at least equal to the height of tree or house, whichever is
greater.
Too Close building
• Building should not be constructed close to another
building: there might be a possibility of falling of
building during earthquake.
• The distance between two houses should be at least
equal to the height of house.
CONCLUSITION
• Finally it must be recognized that the
architectural requirements will often make
asymmetrical design difficult or sometimes
impossible.
• In these circumstances it is necessary, depending
upon the size of the building and the type of
asymmetry, to subdivide the major masses of the
building to improve the seismic performance.
