    INTRODUCTION

     An earthquake is the vibration, sometimes


    violent to the earth’s surface that follows a
    release of energy in the earth’s crust.
     This energy can be generated by a sudden
    dislocation of segments of the crust, by a
    volcanic eruption or even by a manmade
    explosion.
     The dislocation of the crust causes most
    destructive earthquakes.
    HOW EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT
    CONSTRUCTION IS
    DIFFERENT?
     Since the magnitude of a future earthquake and
    shaking intensity expected at a particular site
    cannot be estimated with a reasonable accuracy,
    the seismic forces are difficult to quantify for
    the purposes of design.
     Further, the actual forces that can be generated
    in the structure during an earthquake are very
    large and designing the structure to respond
    elastically against these forces make it too
    expensive.
    EFFECT OF EARTHQUAKE ON
    REINFORCED
    CONCRETE BUILDINGS
     In recent times, reinforced concrete buildings have
    become common in India.
     A typical RC building is made of horizontal members
    (beams and slabs) and vertical members (columns and
    walls) and supported by foundations that rest on the
    ground.
     The system consisting of RC columns and connecting
    beams is called a RC frame.
    SEISMIC DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

     Severity of ground shaking at a given location


    during earthquake can be minor, moderate and
    strong.
     Relatively speaking, minor shaking occurs
    frequently; moderate shaking occasionally and
    strong shaking rarely.

     Earthquake resistant building:


     Earthquake design philosophy:
    REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MINIMISE
    THE LOSSES DUE TO EARTHQUAKES
     Building planning
     Foundation
     Provision of band
     Arches and domes
     Staircases
    EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDING
    CONSTRUCTION WITH REINFORCED HOLLOW
    CONCRETE BLOCK (RHCBM)
     Reinforced hollow concrete blocks are designed
    both as load-bearing walls for gravity loads and
    also as shear walls for lateral seismic loads, to
    safely withstand the earthquakes.
     This structural system of construction is known
    as shear wall-diaphragm concept, which gives
    three-dimensional structural integrity for the
    buildings.
    MID-LEVEL ISOLATION

     This includes mid-level isolation system


    installed while the buildings are still being used.
     This new method entails improving and
    classifying the columns on intermediate floors
    of an existing building into flexible columns
    that incorporate rubber bearings (base isolation
    systems) and rigid columns which have been
    wrapped in steel plates to add to their
    toughness.
    EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE USING
    SLURRY INFILTRATED MAT CONCRETE
    (SIMCON)

     Following the devastating earthquakes in


    Turkey this summer that killed as many as
    20,000 people and injured another 27,000,
    images of survivors trapped beneath the rubble
    of collapsed buildings appeared daily in news
    reports worldwide.
     Now a North Carolina State University
    engineer is developing a new type of concrete to
    help prevent such scenes from happening again.
    TRADITIONAL EARTHQUAKE REISTANT
    HOUSING

     The Pherols of Uttarkashi


     The Dhajji-Diwari buildings of Kashmir
     The Kat-Ki- Kunni Buildings of Kulu
    Valley
     Quincha earthquake resistant buildings
    CONCLUSIONS

     There is a lack of awareness in the earthquake


    disaster mitigations. Avoiding non-engineered
    structures with unskilled labour even in
    unimportant temporary constructions can help a
    great way.
     Statewide awareness programmes have to be
    conducted by fully exploiting the advancement
    in the information technology.
     Urgent steps are required to be taken to make
    the codal provisions regarding earthquake
    resistant construction undebatable.
