This paper discusses advantages of pre-fabricated earthquake resistant building for low income housing. The structural performance and collapse of non-engineered constructions during past earthquakes and general concepts of earthquake resistant design will be discussed.
SEISMIC FRAGILITY STUDIES ON LOW-RISE AND MID-RISE REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAME BUILDINGS USING DUZCE DATABASE (author : M.ALTUG ERBERIK,SERDAR CULLU)In the last decade, severe earthquakes near urban areas have caused substantial physical losses and casualties in Turkey. Since the majority of the population is living in earthquake-prone areas, it is probable that such terrible events will take place again in the near future.
Building houses that safe against future earthquake hazards: LOAD BEARING MASONRY CONSTRUCTION (author : http://www.ndmindia.nic.in)If you are intending to build a single or double storied house without reinforced concrete frame
consisting of columns & beams, but masonry walls, you need to do the following to make the
building structurally safe against future earthquake hazards compliant with the Building
Byelaws.
