- The structure should have balanced lateral resistance.
- Shear walls should be provided for increased stiffness.
- The structure should have a low center of mass relative to the ground.
- Avoid ground floor soft storey.
- There should be a uniform distribution of mass, stiffness, and strength.
- There should be a greater emphasis on the quality of construction.
