Roofs and floors can be designed to improve earthquake-resistant building performance by ensuring that they are adequately supported by the building’s structure, and by using materials and techniques that allow for deformation and movement without collapse. Diaphragms, which are horizontal elements that transfer lateral forces to the building’s vertical elements, can also be used to improve roof and floor performance.
