    Dev Sharma presented on earthquake resistant building construction. Some key differences in earthquake resistant construction are that seismic forces are difficult to quantify for design purposes since the magnitude and intensity of future earthquakes cannot be accurately estimated, and designing structures to elastically withstand the large actual forces generated during an earthquake would make buildings too expensive. Reinforced concrete buildings have become common in India, consisting of horizontal and vertical members like beams, slabs, columns and walls supported by foundations. The seismic design philosophy aims to design buildings to withstand minor, moderate and strong shaking based on expected ground motion severity and frequency. Remedial measures to minimize earthquake losses include considerations for building planning, foundations, bands, arches, staircases and traditional earthquake resistant housing

    INTRODUCTION
    I Dev Sharma Of Civil 3rd Year Is
    Standing Here To Present My Presentation
    Over The Topic
    “ Earthquake Resistant Building “
    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
    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
