To enhance the building's seismic performance, a proper building design is performed engaging various seismic vibration control technologies.

In fact, many structures considered strong may in fact be stiff, which can result in poor seismic performance.

A building's seismic performance may be improved by reducing vibrations.

In some cases, application of base isolation can raise both a structure's seismic performance and its seismic sustainability considerably.

Basically, numerical analysis is conducted in order to evaluate the seismic performance of buildings.

Key factors for the improved seismic performance of adobe construction are:

They are the long-lasting materials but their rather heavy weight is not beneficial for adequate seismic performance.

To test seismic performance of a building structure with experiments, it is may be put on a shake-table that behaves like the earth shaking.

To provide criteria for the evaluation of the seismic performance of existing individual building structures.

Due to their mutual interaction, seismic loading and seismic performance of a structure are intimately related.
