INTRODUCTION

An earthquake is
 the shaking of the surface of the Earth,

 resulting from the sudden release of energy

 in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic

waves.

They are natural disasters of a generally

unpredictable nature.

METHODS
Basic approach is to reduce the earthquake generated forces
acting upon the building; rather than strengthening it.

Two main techniques:

 Base Isolation
 Energy Dissipation Devices

BASE ISOLATION DEVICES

Base Isolation Devices – separate building from

building
foundation by bearing pads.
 Lead Rubber Bearings
 Spherical Sliding Isolation Systems

7 BASE ISOLATION DEVICES
Supported by a series of bearing pads which are
placed between the building and the building's
foundation.

In case of an
earthquake:

ENERGY DISSIPATION DEVICES (SEISMIC DAMPERS)

Special devices introduced in building

absorb the energy produced by seismic
waves.
•Viscous Dampers utilized the forced
movement of fluids within the damper
•Friction Dampers these utilize
frictional forces to dissipate energy
•Metallic Dampers utilize the
deformation of metal elements within the
damper

TECHNIQUES UNDER
RESEARCH
1. SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS
 Bounce back after experiencing large loads.
 Used in bearings, columns and beams and
connecting elements.
 Most common alloys used are copper-zinc-
aluminum-
nickel, copper-aluminum-nickel or nickel-titanium.

RESEARCH
2. MUSSEL FIBERS
 Elastomeric fibers combine stiffness and flexibility which helps
mussel to attach to hard surfaces.
 Construction materials made of a similar blend of firm and
flexible parts could help buildings withstand high-stress forces
during an earthquake.
Ratio of stiff-to flexible fibers = 80:20.

3. VISCO-ELASTIC DAMPERS CST30
 Two layer of high damping rubber sandwiched
between steel plates.
 Absorb energy produce from vibrations.

3. VISCO-ELASTIC DAMPERS CST30
Advantages over traditional damping system.
 Effective utilization of interior space.

 Improvement in the degree of freedom of design.

 Accepts different vibration types.

 High performance and high quality.

 Environmental friendliness.

 Maintenance free.
 13 WORK ON EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE
IN INDIA
 In India, base isolation technique was first demonstrated
after 1993 Killari earthquake. Two single storey buildings
were built with rubber base isolators resting on hard ground.

 The four storey bhuj hospital building was built with

base isolation technique after 2001 bhuj earthquake.
