Earthquakes are very serious problems since they affect human life in various ways. The Earthquakes are mainly prevented by two methods namely Base Isolation Methods and Seismic Dampers. There are structural requirements which a building should have in order to resist earthquakes. There are various designs of structures which cause damages during earthquake and the most important one is the “short column effect”. The various solutions which can be applied in order to overcome these effects and to strengthen the structural elements are briefly explained. The retrofitting and special confinement reinforcement is the methods applied. The present paper deals with Base Isolation and Seismic Damper Methods in brief manner. This paper explains the methods and their preventive measures about Earthquakes. The present paper deals with structures which resist Earthquakes. It explains the frames which help in resisting Earthquakes.
