    The document discusses recommendations for making buildings more earthquake resistant in India. It suggests avoiding weak column and strong beam design, providing thick slabs and cross walls to stiffen structures, including shear walls symmetrically, increasing transverse reinforcement, adding lintel bands, revising building codes, and making buildings regular and symmetrical with reinforcing bars at corners and wall junctions.

    EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS IN INDIA

    By Shailendra Prasad 8th Semester (Jan-Jun 2013) PRN No:

    Suggestio ns Avoid weak column and strong beam design


    Provide thick slab which will help as a rigid diaphragm Provide cross walls which will stiffen the structures Provide shear walls in a symmetrical fashion Increase in the transverse (Shear) reinforcement. Horizontal lintel band should be provided Revision/ updation of building code of Pakistan The building must be regular and symmetrical in shape Reinforcing bars should be provided at the corners and the junctions of the walls
