Design Principles for Earthquake Resistant Buildings and Post Earthquake Study by Structural Engineering Perspectives
Two major earthquakes hit India in last eight years. The first in Killari (Latur) Maharashtra on 30th September 1993(Magnitude 6.4,deaths about 10,000) and the second recently at Bhuj Gujrat on 26th January 2001(Magnitude 8.1,deaths more than 35000).In USA two earthquakes took place one in California on 17th January 1994(Magnitude 6.6,deaths 57) and second in Ciatel near Canada on 1 st March 2001(Magnitude 6.8,death 1).It shows clearly that the damage to structures and loss of life is more in developing countries like India as compared to developed countries like USA,Japan etc. This is due to lack of awareness in adopting Indian Standard codal provisions for earthquake resistant design. It is highly expensive to construct structure 100% earthquake proof. This paper aims to highlight design principles for earthquake resistant buildings which should be compulsorily adopted during the construction. In this paper, post earthquake effects on buildings from structural point of view are also highlighted.
