Seismic load

Seismic loading depends, primarily, on:

 Anticipated earthquake’s parameters at the site
 Geotechnical parameters of the site
 Building structure’s parameters
 Characteristics of the anticipated gravity waves from tsunami (if applicable).

Sometimes, seismic load exceeds ability of a structure to resist it without being broken, partially or completely. Due to their mutual interaction, seismic loading and seismic performance of a structure are intimately related.
