WHAT IS THIS DOCUMENT ABOUT? :
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.
Then it will be introduced about pre-fabricated smart module house, which is fast and easy to be installed, comfortable, durable and earthquake resistant. The numerical analysis showed that the module
house is not only resistant toward earthquake but also toward strong wind and suitable to fulfill the needs of low income
housing in earthquake area.
