Regulations taking the seismic action into account are implemented. Despite a large understanding and knowledge earthquakes are, and will be devastating for the following reasons: a) Earthquakes do not occur often. Events not occurring regularly at short intervals do not influence the construction technique of non-engineered constructions. Design rules are not applied because of the absence of an imminent danger. b) Design rules established by the scientific community are not understood by the builders and are not applied. c) Houses are often built by tradesmen without any knowledge of seismic design. Simple design rules are not known by individual builders and are therefore not applied.
