This document provides information on safety precautions for buildings in seismic zones. It discusses the different seismic zones in India and the building codes that should be followed. It describes requirements for framed and load-bearing masonry construction, including reinforcement, mortar and concrete grades, brick strength, and seismic strengthening arrangements like bands and vertical steel. Building categories are defined based on importance and zoning. Guidelines are given for height, number of storeys, and opening sizes and positions.
