- Always insist for Earthquake resistant building design. To make a building Earthquake resistant, first check the seismic zone in which it falls. Zone V is most earthquake prone and Zone II is least seismic. Recently Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) that issues various ISI Codes, has merged Zone I with Zone II. Get the building designed as per IS 1893-2002 guidelines. This code has undergone significant changes after Bhuj Earthquake and design methodology has been revised. Ask your structural engineer to use the new code instead of adopting the old design methods.
