ABSTRACT
This paper considers the engineering implications based upo the Newcastle Earthquake of 1989, for continental earthquake in an area were little or no preparation was considered necessary. The lack of structural adequacy of building to withstand loadings other than gravity loads has never been fully tested in Australia before in a major urban environment the size of Newcastle. The consequences of what similarevents occurring in sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne could cause, a far greater scale, are lessons from the Newcastle Earthquake (AU)
