 Part B
1. Rationale :-
It is absolutely necessary to maintain the building structure in order to
preserve the assets and protect the building the building occupants.
Normally, the external parts of a building ges weathered quickly being
exposed to the natural environment. Overlooked dilapidation and
inadequate maintenance in the building lead to loose mortar, tiles and
bricks of external walls, spalled concrete and thereby threaten public
safety. Proper building maintenance ensures that the building and the
environment remain healthy, clean and a safe place to work or reside.
The strengthening of elements for sustaining loads in future enhances
the life, use and raise the value of structures. Regular inspection and
maintenance is therefore necessary for timely identification of
deteriorated building elements. However, this requires a scientific
approach through the investigation of failure pattern. The civil
engineering technologists are required to prevent the deterioration of
different types of buildings and also to repair the damages in the
building. This course is therefore designed to develop the competency
to do all these activities.

2. Aim of micro Project: Study about the . “Collect damages caused by various
natural hazards.”

3. Course Outcome Achieved (Cos ):- Restore the damages of building

structural elements using suitable method of repair.
 Introduction

Certainly, natural hazards can cause a wide range of damages, impacting both
human lives and infrastructure. Here are some common damages caused by
various natural hazards:

1.Flooding:

• Structural damage to buildings, bridges, roads, and infrastructure due to

inundation and water pressure.
• Destruction of crops, farmlands, and agricultural infrastructure.
• Contamination of water sources, leading to health hazards and waterborne
diseases.
• Displacement of populations and loss of homes, resulting in homelessness
and temporary shelters.
• Economic losses due to business interruptions, loss of livelihoods, and
damage to industries located in flood-prone areas.

2.Earthquakes:

• Collapse or partial damage of buildings, including residential, commercial,

and industrial structures.
• Loss of life and injuries due to building collapses, falling debris, and
infrastructure damage.
• Disruption of essential services such as electricity, water supply, and
communication networks.
• Landslides and ground subsidence, leading to additional structural damage
and hazards.
• Economic losses from business interruptions, decreased tourism, and
rebuilding costs.
3.Hurricanes/Cyclones/Typhoons:

• Structural damage to buildings, homes, and infrastructure from high winds,

storm surges, and heavy rainfall.
• Flooding and inundation of coastal areas, resulting in property damage and
loss of livelihoods.
• Displacement of populations and disruption of communities, necessitating
emergency evacuation and relief efforts.
• Destruction of crops, agricultural lands, and fisheries, affecting food
security and livelihoods.
• Environmental damage, including habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity,
and contamination from debris and pollutants.

4.Wildfires:

• Destruction of forests, vegetation, and wildlife habitats due to intense heat

and flames.
• Damage to homes, buildings, and infrastructure located in wildfire-prone
areas.
• Air pollution and degradation of air quality from smoke, ash, and
particulate matter.
• Loss of life and injuries to firefighters, residents, and wildlife.
• Economic losses from property damage, loss of tourism revenue, and
firefighting costs.

5.Tornadoes:

• Destruction of buildings, homes, and infrastructure from high winds and

flying debris.
• Loss of life and injuries from direct impact and structural collapses.
 • Displacement of populations and damage to communities, necessitating
emergency response and recovery efforts.
• Economic losses from property damage, business interruptions, and
rebuilding costs.
• Psychological impacts on affected individuals and communities due to
trauma and loss.

6.Volcanic Eruptions:

• Structural damage to buildings, homes, and infrastructure from volcanic

ash, lava flows, and pyroclastic flows.
• Loss of life and injuries from volcanic eruptions and associated hazards
such as lahars and toxic gas emissions.
• Disruption of transportation networks, including roads, airports, and
seaports, due to ashfall and debris.
• Agricultural losses from crop damage, soil fertility loss, and contamination
from volcanic ash.

 Proposed methodology

1. I have discussed the topic with the subject teacher.

2. I have prepared proposal of micro-project.

3. I have collected required resources.

4. I have prepared report as per guidance of subject teacher.

  Conclusion:-

Natural hazards such as flooding, earthquakes,

hurricanes/cyclones/typhoons, wildfires, tornadoes, and volcanic
eruptions inflict significant damages across diverse sectors. These
damages include structural destruction of buildings and
infrastructure, loss of life and injuries, displacement of populations,
environmental degradation, and economic losses. The widespread
consequences underscore the importance of implementing robust
disaster preparedness, mitigation strategies, and resilience-building
measures to minimize the impacts of natural hazards and enhance the
ability of communities to withstand and recover from these events.
Additionally, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, investing in
early warning systems, and promoting sustainable development
practices are crucial steps towards building more resilient societies in
the face of natural hazards.
