Seismic Resistance Clause Samples
The Seismic Resistance clause establishes requirements for a building or structure to withstand seismic events such as earthquakes. It typically mandates that design, materials, and construction methods meet specific standards or codes related to earthquake resistance, and may require certification by qualified engineers. This clause ensures that the structure is built to minimize damage and protect occupants during seismic activity, thereby reducing risk and enhancing safety in earthquake-prone areas.
