Earthquakes present formidable challenges to structural stability, driving the need for ongoing advancements in construction methodologies. This review highlights the crucial role of Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) in enhancing earthquake resistance and addresses the need for innovative solutions. The review begins with an overview of the importance of earthquake
Ensuring the durability of materials, long-term stability, structural reset capability post-earthquake, resistance to base subsidence, reliability in technical index calculations, and consistency in bearing quality is imperative for the success of seismic isolation technology.
The standards for concrete in earthquake-resistant structures mostly contain prescriptive rules for the quality of constituents and mixture design proportions. However, preparation of performance-based, project-specific specification is often neglected due to time duration of construction and limited cost perspective [ 1 ].
These structures include seismic force-resisting systems similar to those in buildings, such as a trussed tower or a pipe rack, or systems very different from those in buildings, such as a liquid

The new ISO 11031 can be used to calculate seismic loads, and sets out design principles for cranes destined to work in seismically active regions and for cranes required to be seismically resistant.. Klaus Pokorny, Secretary of the ISO subcommittee working on design principles and requirements for cranes, explains: “To make sure that cranes are safe, we first
During an earthquake the water mass in the container vibrates in two different modes. The part of water which vibrates with the container is called impulsive mass and the part which moves relative to the container is called convective or sloshing mass , , .Along with the impulsive mass, the sloshing of liquid also contributes hydrodynamic force.
Steel structures have long been recognized as excellent earthquake-resistant systems. However, this viewpoint wavered after the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes, when thousands of steel buildings experienced local or global damage making them difficult, if not impossible, to repair.

Conventional earthquake-resistant design of structures typically relies on ductile details specifically selected to sustain substantial inelastic deformations and dissipate energy in a controlled manner, thus limiting the force demands elsewhere in the structure and protecting the integrity of its global load-carrying systems.
The earthquake resistance standards specified by the Building Standard Act were revised and became stricter on June 1, 1981. Standards before this date are known as the old earthquake resistance standards. At the same time, those after are referred to as the new earthquake resistance standards. Old Earthquake Resistance Standards:
