Earthquakes are terrifying as well as devastating. They cause extensive damage to life and property — the major culprit being inadequate construction norms and procedures. As a matter of fact, the extent of damage in the event of an earthquake is largely attributed to faulty building codes and incapable construction practices followed in the affected area and India is plagued by such construction snags.
However, fortunately, in the last couple of years, India has witnessed a deliberate improvement in its stale building construction standards. Earthquake-resistant buildings are being constructed in the zone V and IV areas and we feel elated.
Below are a few recommendations following national building codes; kindly take note:
Light and Flexible
When an earthquake occurs, disparate seismic energy is emanated that increases the height and mass of any building. This is why we recommend using light-weight materials. They help absorb and distribute all the energy keeping the building from falling down.
Bend Without Breaking
This is like the most coveted mantra in the world of construction, especially when reinforcing earthquake-resistant buildings. Not only does it make the structure completely shock-resistant but also help it withstand drastic seismic shocks. TMT Bars are high on purpose. Exhibiting soft inner core but tough exterior, they come with high an elongation point, thus exude phenomenal shock absorbing properties.
