93. This house was dislodged from its foundation and moved 0.75 meters (2.5 feet) from the cement stairway in downtown Watsonville. [J.K. Nakata, U.S. Geological Survey]

Note that the building has moved diagonally, a typical motion when all four shear walls of a structure collapse. For this to occur the usual failure mode is for the corners to disassemble, and good design or retrofitting pays special attention to the corners of such structures.

Image prepared for the w:en:seismic retrofit article.
