Seismic code

Okay kiddo, so you know that earthquakes can be really scary and dangerous, right? Well, seismic codes are a set of rules that are put in place to make buildings and other structures safer during an earthquake.

These rules make sure that buildings are designed and built in a way that will help them stay upright and not collapse if there is an earthquake. They might include things like making sure the foundation is strong and sturdy, using materials that can bend and flex without breaking, and connecting different parts of the building together in a way that helps distribute the shaking from an earthquake.

Seismic codes are really important because they help keep people safe during earthquakes. Buildings that don't meet these rules can be really dangerous and could even collapse during an earthquake, which could hurt or even kill anyone inside. So, it's important that builders follow these rules to help keep us all safe!
