Horizontal seismic forces are the primary concern in building design, as they can cause significant damage to a structure during an earthquake, as per IS 1893:2002 (Part 1). Vertical seismic forces are typically much smaller and less significant in the design of the building. Engineers must design the building’s lateral load resisting systems to withstand the expected horizontal seismic forces in the region.
