Unreinforced concrete structures are prone to cracking, collapsing, and disintegrating under intense earthquake tremors. The lack of reinforcement like steel bars makes them unable to withstand the lateral forces and shearing that occur during seismic events, leading to significant damage or failure. It is crucial to retrofit or reinforce these structures to enhance their seismic performance and minimize risks.
