A Review on Earthquake Resistant Low-Cost Construction Techniques

Md. Anzar Rabbani, Md. Afzal Rabbani, Tinku Biswas

Abstract


In India various people lives in villages and small houses. Indian people built houses in short income that are more prone to earthquake effects. Due to earthquake, losses of lives are much more there are many techniques to resist earthquake but they are very costly and not used by everyone. There are some useful low-cost techniques to resist earthquake effects. The cost effective with easy construction procedure, there are some old traditional practice of earthquake resistant techniques are helpful apart from the modern techniques which are explained in the codes of practice. The aim of this paper is how to save lives through use of low cost construction techniques and proper seismic knowledge.
