Seismic design in building architecture refers to the practice of designing structures that can withstand the effects of earthquakes. The goal of seismic design is to ensure that buildings have adequate strength and stiffness to resist the forces generated during seismic events. This involves designing structures with proper foundation systems, structural framing, and building materials that can mitigate the effects of earthquakes and prevent collapse. Seismic design is a critical consideration for architects, engineers, and construction professionals working in earthquake-prone regions.
