    This document discusses earthquake design and construction basics from a guide authored by C.V.R. Murty from IIT Kanpur and sponsored by the Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council. It covers topics such as what causes earthquakes, seismic zones in India, effects of earthquakes on different types of structures, and seismic-resistant design of masonry and reinforced concrete buildings. The guide provides information on seismic concepts like magnitude, intensity, ductility, flexibility and recommendations for improving earthquake resistance in architectural features, beams, columns, joints, and using shear walls.
