The tragedy after Nepal earthquake happened because new technologies to

resisting earthquakes. It is noteworthy that while designing structures various
loads i.e. Imposed loads [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load] , wind loads,
seismic loads [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_loading] , snow loads and other

[http://www.imd.gov.in/section/seismo/static/bhuj_equake.htm] , this is the largest

strictly adhered to as we have witnessed that in the eventuality of an
earthquake, any structure can act worse than any weapon. ....[click to read
