Past and current methods describing the damage potential of an earthquake are reviewed and discussed in relation to actual earthquake damage. The performance of a number of structures subjected to intense shaking is described with particular reference to their detailing. Examples are given showing the effect of infilling walls on structural behaviour. Veneer on timber construction is discussed. The points made are illustrated with figures and photographs.
