Seismic Load 1. Buildings undergo dynamic motion during the earthquake. 2. The building is subjected to inertia forces that act in the opposite direction to the acceleration of earthquake excitations. 3. These inertia forces called seismically loads are usually dealt with by assuming forces external to the building.

Wind Loads – 1. Thermal loads (temperature changes leading to thermal expansion) 2. The lateral pressure of soil, groundwater or bulk materials. 3. Wind load has the ability to bring a building to sway. 4. Wind velocity increases with the increase in height.
