EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT STRUCRURES

ABSTRACT
“Buildings are the Worst Killers than the Earthquake”. By using appropriate
Earthquake resistance design we can ultimately reach our goal. India and other parts of the world are prone to frequent earth quakes. It makes a great attention to the scientist & research scholars. It’s not able to control the earthquake but we can make suitable design.
Advance technology is to save the structure and reduce the death rate. IS 1893-1984 code provision for CRITERIA FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE STRUCTURES has been revised by INDIAN STANDARDS as IS1893-2002.In this paper we have reported some provision corresponding to bearings, dampers, foundation isolation techniques and model technology to resist the earthquake forces so that we, forth coming young engineers will be aware of it and will do our best designs that resist the earthquake and will make our
INDIA in a best path of its development towards “DEVELOPED INDIA 2020”.

    Today, over 1000 seismographs measure minute shaking over California, much of which goes unnoticed by human detection. This array of seismographs helped to develop a subsurface model of fault systems and an understanding of which faults potentially hold higher strain. This helps us understand which faults would be more likely to produce strong earthquakes, the relative probability of earthquake occurrence, and expected shaking. Unfortunately, the occurrence of earthquake detection is probabilistic in nature and therefore is limited to long-term predictions. This is similar to the 100-year flood. Scientists determine a 100-year flood based on historical records of flooding, but this doesn't stop two 100-year floods from happening back to back and then none for several hundred…

    Even with the city of Los Angeles have strong structured building to deal with the harms and hazards that come with having earthquakes. Many would call these structures earthquake resistant. According to building codes, earthquake-resistant structures are projected to endure the largest earthquake of a certain chance that is likely to occur at their location. This means the loss of life should be decrease by averting collapse of the buildings for rare earthquakes while the loss of functionality should be limited for more frequent ones.…

    Earthquakes in Los Angeles, California can be devastating to people, cities, and the landscape. Earthquakes can cause millions if not billions of dollars of damage in only a matter of a few minutes. The more populated the area where the earthquake strikes or the earthquakes epicenter, the more the disaster can occur. Buildings are constructed to an earthquake code, but that does not mean there can be no damage to them. Brick faces can fall, windows can shatter, and structures can become unsafe. Bridges can buckle and with that their support beams and vital components can ultimately fall down to the ground in a pile of twisted steel. Water and sewage pipes can rupture filling buildings with water and poisonous…

    Granted, the entire cascade of events associated with this natural disaster was very unfortunate and disheartening. But, the Haitian nation was simply not adequately prepared to prevent the effects of the earthquake from reaching as far as they did. As a result, a mind boggling question has been raised: could simple efforts have caused this catastrophe to have been less catastrophic? This research topic is being explored by building officials, architects, and designers worldwide who seek to lessen earthquake-related effects on society (Jain). As living standards rise and urbanism spreads in the modern world, the potentiality for earthquake-related catastrophe has spiked. Therefore, cautious steps must be taken to decrease the level of all earthquake-related catastrophes in developing countries while technology behind earthquake resistant architecture is reengineered and…

    In May 2008, a major earthquake hit Sichuan in the south west of China, it was estimated that around 69 000 to 80 000 people were killed and buildings collapsed with people in them information from an OCR science booklet, a news sheet. In my case study, I will be writing about Should we spend more money on predicting for an earthquake than on preparing a town for an earthquake I will do this by discussing different point of views of people if they agree or disagree with the statement above and use their opinion as evidence. In the end of the case study, I will have made my point clear. What is an earthquake, and what causes it An earthquake is a sudden shockwave called a seismic shock (a fast movement of energy that spreads quicker than sound) which is caused by rocks being under stress by the movement of the tectonic plates at plate boundaries and eventually the stress from the rocks build up and reach breaking point. At that point, the stored up energy is released in the form of shockwaves.1 Arguments that supports the statement David Petley, who is an executive director of the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience in the University of Durham, wrote an article in The Guardian. Petley (2012) points out an intriguing argument stating that a successful prediction would greatly reduce the loss of life, if not necessarily the economic damage, by permitting dangerous buildings to be evacuated, tsunami-prone areas to be cleared, and hospitals and rescue teams to be prepared and on standby.2 From this statement it appears that The Guardian believes a successful prediction prevents millions of lives dying or injured by an earthquake, countries wont be economically damaged as houses can get ruined by earthquakes, if people do get injured hospitals and rescue teams will be ready on standby. However, whether David Petley, from The Guardian, is in favour of prediction will be discussed later on. Dr Michael Blanpied, who serves as an Associate Coordinator of the USGS…

    One method of reducing the impact is by managing the vulnerability. One of the main uses of technology is the prediction of when and where an earthquake will occur. In terms of earthquakes it is very hard to predict when an earthquake will occur. However, there are tell-tale signs that give a nonetheless small idea. Technology here plays an important part; seismographs probably being the more common use. Little movements/ tremors under crusts are measured by seismographs and tilt metre; this information is looked at and then used to predict when. Radon gas is released which is measured by spectrometers. Water levels are also tend to rise before an earthquake giving a big hint.…

    Economic cost was high with losses estimated at $40 billion. The earthquake severely tested building codes, earthquake-resistant construction and emergency preparation and response procedures. The experience confirmed many of the lessons learned from past earthquakes, exposed weaknesses in the society’s generally resilient fabric, and produced many surprises about the levels and consequences of strong ground shaking. Near the epicenter in the San Fernando Valley, well-engineered buildings withstood violent shaking without structural damage. However, numerous structural failures throughout the region were evidence of significant…

    A third measure to reduce an earthquake’s damage would be to provide information/ educate the public as much as possible before the earthquake strikes. This can involve the use of radio and television broadcasting and newspapers. Everyone should know what precautions they need to take for the own safety and…
